Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings composing poetry in Greenbridge, Essex

"The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England in the destruction of the planet Earth."

— The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter 7

Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England, was an Earthling poetess who achieved the supreme literary distinction of composing the very worst poetry in the entire Universe—surpassing even the lethal verse of Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of the Azgoths of Kria (second worst) and the callous compositions of the Vogons (third worst).

Cosmic Silver Lining of Earth's Demolition

While the vaporization of Earth by Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz and the Vogon Constructor Fleet wiped out Nelson's Column, every Bogart movie, and McDonald's hamburgers, galactic literary critics documented in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy universally regard the simultaneous destruction of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings and her complete body of verse in Greenbridge, Essex, as a major triumph for the preservation of sanity across the cosmos.
