The Style Invitational
 
 
Dear Loser, Aspiring Loser or General Hanger-On:

"I am the very model of a presidential candidate
Whose every word has made The Don the most revolting man, to date.
I ended Lyin’ Ted, he’s just a microscopic speck to me;
On Clinton, I’m performing a political mastectomy..."

That's the beginning of Matt Monitto's winning election-themed parody. See that and 15 more -- plus a wickedly funny video parody on "Alexander Hamilton" called "Presidential Candidates."

Meanwhile, our new contest gives you 36 oddball words taken from this year's National Spelling Bee, and asks you to write a funny poem using ones. Check out Gene Weingarten's ode to ptyalism (a.k.a. drooling).
