Last week, the results from the Style Invitational over at the Wpost had two limericks that I thought had exquisitely bad puns. (The contest was just to use a word starting cl- through co-). Because I'm trying not to drive away my fairly limited readership, I'm reprinting them below the cut. I actually liked both of these way more than the winners. Although it's not like Chris Strolin was robbed, another submission of his got first place.
At the precinct, I stopped up the flow on
All the urinals, toilets and so on.
But they've none to accuse.
As I left them no clues--
And the cops have got nothing to go on. (Scott Campisi, Wake Village, Tex.)Father John's an unfortunate bearer
Of news that, by rites, should be rarer.
Seems a test will reveal
He's a father for real,
The result of a clerical error. (Chris Strolin, Belleville, Ill)
