The Style Invitational Week 720
In case you feel like taking a stab at it, the Washington Post’s Style Invitational for Week 720 is “The Course of Humor Events“:
About three years back [in Week 570], we ran a great set of results to a contest asking for rhyming couplets that told about historical events. Loser Peter Metrinko, who just happened to get no ink in that contest, asks that we compile another such chronicle, but that we also allow other short formats as well, such as those above. Okay, there should be enough history to go around: Sum up a historical event in a two-line rhyme or other clever and pithy epigram.
Examples, contests rules, and the results of the Week 570 contest are available on the Washington Post page.
