Default NY Times Opportunity

"Show Us Your Wit" invites the New York Times. They're looking for poem, song, etc. parodies dealing with people and events in the news.

Sorry, left out the @.

Eyes are devolving.

We invite readers to have a little fun by expressing their opinions in forms other than letters to the editor. Take a well-known song, poem or other kind of text (from Shakespeare to Seuss), and rewrite the words in response to something or someone in the news.

For inspiration, look at what readers submitted when we solicited such “variations” a few years ago.

Send in your submissions by Aug. 7. Please include your name, location and contact information, and put “variations” in the subject line. We will publish a selection of our favorites.
