The Humble Mother's Dream

Please note that the grammar and spelling are intentionally bad. This is a joke submitted to the National Library of Poetry under the pen name "Yovean Howen Svagold"

 

I knew a humble mother

With but one dream in 'er heart

To be a purblished poet

And not have to be a tart

 

Off went her submission

To the nashnul library

And in came conformation

It would print for all to see

 

“Eligeble to win ten grand”

She got so danged excited

She danced naked in the sand

Her dream at last reckwited

 

But wait, now they want fitty bills

So’s she can get a copy

She’d rather spend on fitty pills

Or getting herself sloppy

 

Today she’s still a wanton hoe

And she got naught to show

Yet she is glad, cuz she do know

That she is pub’d like E.A. Poe

Author's Note

I hope this made you chuckle. It was an entry created for the Wargle Flomp contest, where you submit a phony submission to a vanity contest site like poetry.com in jest, then submit it to the contest. The spelling and grammar are intentionally bad. No doubt, I will soon get a letter for Yovean Howen Svagold at my address, congratulating that this poem will be published, and I can get a copy if I pay fitty bills. :)
