Kaczynski and Lewinsky
The Washington Post runs a weekly contest in its Style section called the “Style Invitational”. The requirements recently were to use the two names Lewinsky (The Intern) and Kaczynski (the Unabomber) in the same limerick.
The following winning entries were (supposedly) printed in the newspaper:
Third place:
There once was a gal 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 of your chinsky.”
And the winning entry:
Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kaczynski must surely have 4 known
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter
When deciding how best to be blown.

Of course it is not true that the Washington Post ever printed these. They have been floating around the Internet for years been posted on bulletin boards long before being connected with the WP. They have also been credited to a contest at a bar in Long Island, a contest at a bar in Oxnard, Califonia, and several people have claimed authorship for all three and posted them on their own websites.
