In my search for a contest I wergled a word
quite poetically speaking I typed in "absurd"
then hit enter search terms on my trusty ol' comp
when much to my surprise it spit back the word "Flomp"

Now I've wergled some stuff like a few billion times,
that search engine works great when you're looking for rhymes
but this "Flomp" had me stumped as an old cut off tree
I must see what this "Flomp" thing could possibly be.

So I then wergled "Flomp" and got some anime
I'm not trying to offend , but that stuff's pretty gay,
I prefer what I watch just a little more real,
but if that gets you off, hey , to each their own deal.

Scrolling down I could see they said "Flomp" was a sound
like a pussy cat makes when it falls to the ground
in a sideways collapse to which some cats are prone
and some similar stuff and then one 'bout the "Bone".

All the usual crap that you find on the net,
I thought surely there's more # 3 was... you bet!
The almighty kahuna, the true "Wergle Flomp"
all with no entry fee, just submit on your comp!

Oh, but wait, there were rules, though albeit quite loose,
blah, blah, blah, you agree, blah, blah, blah, terms of use.
O.K. great, now I'm here, but, hey what should I write?
Positively perplexed at this poetic plight.

On my comp I hit wergle and then "Wergle Flomp"
how it all came about, circumstantially pomp
predators who would prey on those poets naive
as I'd been at one time, who would ever believe?

Yup, that's right, Owens Mills, Poetry damn dot com.
with their feather logo can bite my plume de nom
and you other unscrupulous !@#$%^&s out there
we shall see you unmasked, so you'd better beware!

With our pens held on high we will ferret you out,
"Wergle Flomp", "Flubble Bop", "Freemont J. Jumpenshout"!
But, I've ranted enough about that I suppose
for we know as a fact "the dog ate mothers' toes".

Now I say it's high time we as poets unite
and go ask the great "Goolgle" if just for one night,
They will use the name "Wergle" and help Mr. Taub
spread the word so that fewer of us end up robbed.

I wergled pompous and it came back me,
And I thought it was about a wampus named Lee.
Typed wergled Lone Ranger, looking for kemo sabe
It spit out Kooky, Kooky, lend me your cool capri's.

Okay. I admit. Not up to your standards, but . . .

Enjoyed your rant.

JerryPat2,
Lol. hell I don't have standards I only drive automatics, but, I think the question is will my work be up to their standards. The "Wergle Flomp" poetry contest is open to all with no entry fee or strings attached. This was my first submission, you are only allowed one per year.
