But I never got far enough with it, and I don't think I'd want to churn out enough bad poetry to make it work. It never even occurred to me to make a site with actually *good* poetry.

Maybe it was because good poetry is not as funny as bad poetry. This is, after all, a humor site.
Yes, there are a few exceptions. Ogden Nash wrote good poetry that was funny, and Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote "As Funny As I Can."
