I am guessing that "from bad to verse" has been used before, in some form or other, but I do not remember reading it . . . 

if you recognize the phrase "from bad to verse," please do let me know where it was used previously!  Thanks!

It could still be worse,

Your dearth of words

Would leave us in a 

Hearse. So nurse a

Pint full of puns, and

Unlike your ink don't

Run.

Ah. A fast Google search shows the use of these words, "bad to verse," in Three Different Titles of books by three different authors. C'est la vie.

At least, as I understand it, as three different people have used it, this means anyone can use it, without need of attribution.

There are so many "Rules of three."
