Contests : Wergle Flomp Free Poetry Contest : Yew Gotta Larf
The Wergle Flomp Poetry Contest is inspired by Wergle's creator, poet David
Taub.
Under the pen name Bert, which itself is a pen name of Wadda ass Iyam, Mr. Taub submitted "Yew Gotta Larf" to poetry.com's former contest to see what would happen.
Yew Gotta Larf
by Bert
Yew gotta larf at any moreon
who could write, "your poem was selected
for publication, and as a contest semi-finalist, on the basis of your unique talent
and artistic vision."
when we all know this is about as artistic
as vomitting on the neigbour's porch.
Burp... huey... excuse me while I be artistic on your cat.. so much for
the vision.. I never saw your cat.
Now let's get down to the real truth..
You hope I am fooled into parting with
my cash to see this in your anthology.
Wot if NO-ONE bought your books, mugs
plaques, keyrings? (have you thought of musical toilet-roll holders?)
I look forward to receiving your standard letter telling me how artistic this drivel is. If nothing else, I get a free
envelope
which I can recycle.
Poetry.com found Bert's unique perspective perfect for its new anthology, Seasons of Happiness...
Inspired by the achievements of those like Bert, we have established the Wergle Flomp Poetry Contest. There's no fee to enter.
Submissions are accepted during August 15-April 1. Click
here for the rules and online submission.
If you liked "Yew Gotta Larf", you'll also enjoy "Flubblebop" and
"Nicky Nacky Noo".
