Haiku Winners: NAW and PTC!
Our short form winner is PTC (who I can only assume is Pickles the Cat), for this so-true gem:
Obama? Romney?
Where will I find the answer?
I'll just check Facebook!
In the long-form category, the winner is St. Stephens' own Neil Alan Willard, with this entry:
“A country lawyer”
was Sam Ervin, senator
during my childhood.
A long time ago
I shared a cubicle with
Jesse Helms’ son. True.
Bush and Dukakis:
“The Grapple in the Chapel”
Wake Forest debate.
At my little red
church, Carroll Campbell, Senior,
would talk of Junior.
The daughter called me:
“Mom wants a priest to visit.”
John Lindsay had died.
Walking the dog on
“DOG” Street, we saw “Liddy” Dole
leaving the old church.
Williamsburg’s former
mayor died. I preached, mentioned
his pet flying squirrel.
Tim Kaine: “I will al-
ways consider it the high-
light of the weekend.”
At Bruton Parish
Senator John Warner met
me in the churchyard.
My wife’s first night out
after the baby was born —
she met Al Franken.
Politicians and
babies: Edina’s mayor
met ours at breakfast.
And here is a video to tell their story:
