The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the ‘Style Invitational’.
The requirements were to use the two words ‘Lewinsky’ (the Intern)and ‘Kaczynski’ (the Unabomber) in the same limerick.
Now, remember, the following winning entries were actually printed verbatim in the newspaper … no bleeps or xxxs:
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!
