Week 781: Our Greatest Hit

(Bob Staake for The Washington Post)

With a sharp, pointy snout,

He is squat but stretched out.

And that is the long and the short of it.

(Mae Scanlan, Washington)

2. the winner of the downtown Washington-map necktie:

Michelangelo's David, we're told,

Is a fabulous sight to behold.

I'll admit to this crowd

That he's poorly endowed;

But come on, that museum is cold!

(Brendan Beary, Great Mills, Md.)
