Thanks to Megan Fitzpatrick at Popular Woodworking Magazine, we have a winner of our Lost Art Press haiku contest.
I had to call upon Megan to judge the entries because all the haikus I liked had to do with “poo.” (And not the honey-loving morbidly obese bear.) So Megan combed through the entries and selected the following as the winner. I couldn’t agree with her choice more.
forgotten in time
I hold her like men before
her sole cries, “Save me!”
The winner is TJ, who will receive the Stanley Type 11 plane that I restored for my latest DVD: “Super-tune a Handplane” from Popular Woodworking Magazine. Megan also selected a runner-up, in case TJ could not fulfill his duties as LAP poet laureate, or is for some reason not snared in a sex scandal.
Here’s the runner up by Mike Agnew.

Whispers, “Come and play with me.”
Cubicle life sucks.
Thanks to everyone who entered our contest.

Crushing blow. I was counting on winning 🙂
Dang, that is a good one.
Congratulations, TJ.
Darn. Overshot. Haikued about woodworking, not toolsmithing.
Congrats to TJ – excellent contest!

Haiku with imbedded pun. Masterful.
Thanks to Chris, Megan, and LAP. This was a lot of fun. I was kind of partial toward the haikus about beer and sheep. Is that weird? Thanks again.
Congrats TJ.! And Chris, fun contest. Thanks.
Well done TJ!
Does he have to assemble the plane?
DVD Included?
I’m holding out for the limerick contest
Second.
There once was a man from Kentucky. . .
Whose wife said he wouldn’t get lucky…
So he gave away “Stanley”
and she thought it manly
The sly, plucky man from Kentucky.
Nice!
Perfect!
I’m holding out for an arm-pit farting contest.
Freeeeeebbbiiiirrrrdddd!
Agreed with others, nice one T.J.
Do you have to provide your own chipbreaker?
That’s true it’s not in the picture…
Loud applause, congrats to TJ!
and great pick Megan
but, about M. Schwarz, who’s left the rest of us stuttering in 5/7/5 time…..
Bravo, TJ! Well-played pun.
