Monica Lewinski, former White House intern |
The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section.
Ted Kaczynski, former assistant professor, dept. of mathematics, Berkeley University (possibly the best math department in the world), serving a life sentence for UNA-bombing |
This week contestants had to use the two names Lewinsky and Kaczynski in the same limerick. Here are the three winning entries:
Third Place:
There once was a girl named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
Twas 'Hail to the Chief'
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.
Second place:
Said Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky,
We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski,
Since you made such a mess,
Use the hem of your dress
And please wipe that stuff off your chinsky.
And the winning entry:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have known,
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter,
When deciding how best to be blown.
(Please let us know in the comment section what you think of the ranking, and, oh, Stravinsky didn't play the flute)

I'm not so sure about the ranking. I actually like the physical allusions to the male member (3rd place) and semen (2nd) place. There's something juicy to both poems that the winning poem appears to lag.
I can't agree more --- Babette B.
She offered her honor,
He honored her offer,
And all night,
He went on her,
And off her.
--- William Shakespeare
