Contests : Wergle Flomp Free Poetry Contest : Past Winners : 2008 : Rachel Aubin
STOPPING BY THE CLINIC ON A SNOWY EVENING
Have I the clap? Though I should know,
it's tough when you're the village ho,
for every stranger who may cum
could deal an unexpected blow.
I play it straight and play it queer
depending on the atmosphere,
beneath young stallions half my age
or cougars of a vintage year.
I give my perky tits a shake
to see what kinds of friends they'll make.
(If you take pills to get erections,
then dare not gripe that mine are fake.)
But now I'm here with my MD
for pills to make me symptom-free,
with vials to go before I pee,
with vials to go before I pee.
Sent as a joke to PoetryAmerica, this poem won an honorable mention in the 2008 Wergle Flomp humor poetry contest sponsored by Winning Writers. Author Rachel Aubin received a cash prize of $72.95.
About Rachel Aubin
Rachel Aubin supports her dreams of travel writing and authoring children's literature by slaving in a cubicle and penning off-color poetry, sometimes simultaneously. Her only other publication was a first place poetry award in the now-defunct Beginnings magazine. She blames her irreverence on her third-grade teacher, Ms. Bourgeois, who made her students recite Robert Frost's classic poem daily. While Rachel may have a thing for "young stallions", nothing else about the above poem is remotely autobiographical.
