Dear Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz,
What is you best example of Vogon poetry?
Thank you,
Andrew Mayne
Oh holy prophet of Saron,Your question fills my heart with joy,
For there are no examples to my mind
More worthy of a Vogon's attention,
Than those of poets, and of poetry.
For what is a poem but a machine,
A machine for turning emotion into money?
That is what the world has been using poems for.
Indeed, the intergalactic civilization could
Grow very close to an ideal state were it not for
The inefficiency of poetry,
Which causes us to leave stars,
Jungles, and lovers behind.
Poets, however, only care
For love and romance,
And heaven, of course.
But a Vogon would appreciate
A poem which was all
These things.
What such a poem might be like
Is anyone's guess.
