Not that anyone is seeking nominations for the most annoying poem of the millenium, but if they were, this would probably be my number one choice: Ballade des dames de temps jadis or aaargh Où sont les neiges d’antan.
With a bunch of different translations, so we can fully appreciate its full annoyingness.
