WASHINGTON POST LIMERICK CONTEST!
Again, courtesy of the good David Fenton. My mother would never have let me post something like this, but then, times have changed a bit, and good taste was never my strong point. So, for a laugh, and to take some of the heat off of George W. Bush, let us return to the days of………of……..of……..Slick Willie Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and that other guy–the Unabomber………………comments welcome…………..And remember, this appeared in the Washington Post.THE LEWINSKY and KACZYNSKI LIMERICK
The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section
called the “Style Invitational.” The requirements this week were to
use the two words Lewinsky (The Intern) and Kaczynski (the
Unabomber)in the same limerick. Remember, the following winning
entries were printed in the newspaper
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.
