This is the sestina of doom.
It is the worst sestina ever read
By anybody, even by you.
This sestina is just so incredibly off
That there is no way you will ever
Survive reading this sestina.

I'm telling you, put down this sestina!
Don't say I didn't warn you this would doom
You to something the likes of which you've never read
In any fiction. Seriously, you
Must believe me and take your eyes off
This page immediately and never ever

Look at it again. Never ever!!
It's pain and turmoil as can only be penned in sestina
Form. It is doom
Beyond reckoning! Cease read-
-ing right now! Don't say I didn't warn you!
It's not my fault if your limbs fall off

Or if reading this makes you want to jump off
A cliff, or never ever ever
Read a single written word, or sestina,
Again. Doom! Doom! Doom! Doom,
I tell you! DO NOT READ!
I'm warning you!

Trust me when I say that you
Should take this sestina off
Your list of things to read now or ever!
The last person who read this sestina
Suffered such an unspeakable doom
That if you have a weak stomach, you shouldn't read

The final verse! Too late! Now you must read
Until the end! I kept on warning you
But you kept on blowing it off,
So now you've done it! Remind me not to ever
Tell you not to play with the dynamite, 'cause this sestina
Was just as bad and you fell for it! Now-- your doom.
