Tell the Campaign in a Limerick

It's finally here. The day you've been waiting for. The day of the PostPartisan "Tell-the-Campaign-in-a-Limerick Contest."

The contest begins now and continues through 1 a.m. ET tomorrow (when voting ends in Alaska's Aleutian Islands). A winner will be announced Wednesday (barring need for a recount) and will get an original drawing by The Post's Pulitzer-winning political cartoonist Tom Toles.

So enter your limerick in the comments section. If you need a refresher on limericks, see here. Or see here:

By Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt:



Consider the amazing Joe Biden

Whose mouth can perpetually widen

When he said, "We'll be tested,"

Obama requested

That no one choose Joe to confide in.

By Tom Toles:



There once was a gal from Wasilla,

A supposedly half-ton gorilla.

But to this day

She's had nothing to say

Except to imply: "Vote vanilla."

By editorial intern Steven Stein:



Hickory dickory dock

The clock has struck 12 for Barack.

Let’s see if the fella’

Can stay Cinderella

And win this thing in a walk.

By columnist Kathleen Parker:



There once was a maiden of Wasilla,

Whose winks men described as a thrillah,

One glance at McCain

And the poor man was slain;

No one said it, but all thought Camilla.
