HAIKU CONTEST WINNERS: Sarah Palin-themed poetry!

POSTED: Monday, September 6, 2010, 9:00 PM

Filed Under: Comedy

Sorry to make you look at Jay Leno. Anyway, As you may recall, last week — inspired by Louis CK's drunktweets about Sarah Palin — we decided to host a Sarah Palin Haiku Contest. Top poets get tickets to this Wednesday's screening of Hilarious, the Louis CK movie. We weren't into the ones just calling Palin a slut or a whore, because settle the hell down. Also, ones that completely disregarded the syllabic constraints of the form (5-7-5) were frowned upon (though we did let one guy call Palin a moron while using the wrong your/you're, because how funny is that?). And now, your winners:

Abstinence only?

Your knocked up kid is single

Some Sex Ed. plan, huh?

by Gary Lime

Sad, silly Sarah

You are the worst example

of us four eyed girls

by Sandra

When you winked at us

It made my vagina hurt.

Less sense than an egg.

by Al

You are a moron.

You're accent is annoying.

I would still hit it.

by Crane Kick

I'm from Wasilla,

in middle America!

It's right near Russia.

by Ben

Hilarious starring Louis CK screens Wednesday, Sept. 8, 7:30 p.m. at Prince Music Theater, 1412 Chestnut St., 215-569-9700, princemusictheater.org.
