Lewinsky and Kaczynski...

[oldno7]

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. The winning entries (below) were actually printed

verbatim in the newspaper, without bleeps or alterations.

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
