Inspired by the Sarah Palindrome contest, the Paper Cuts blog at the New York Times rounded up some prominent poets to produce some Sarah Palin and Joe Biden verse.

There’s still time to add your own poetry to the growing anthology, but here’s a heroic couplet from the author of Stop Me If You’ve Heard This: A History and Philosophy of Jokes, Jim Holt:

“Thy tongue, Joe Biden! Learn to curb its call
Lest universal verbiage bury all.”

If you need more inspiration, check out Alan Black’s surreal foray in vice presidential politics, read about the vice presidential books, and tune into MediaBistro’s live-blog coverage of the debate.
