Remember our competition to write a limerick and win double passes to see Iron Sky? We’ve picked the winners, and they’re a tribute to the resilience of the limerick as a relevant poetical form. Or just a lot of jokes about space Nazis. Check them out below.
There were lots of entries, but in the end only 10 people could win. Here are our favourites. And yes, one references Futurama. This is Giz. That’ll work.
A film about moon-dwelling Nazis
Can’t claim to be deep, or too artsy
But the premise is sweet
And the action looks neat
So it holds a fond place in my heart… sy
JD Niemand
Glad I’m not Jewish or Black
Cause it looks like the Nazis are back
They had been defeated
So they quickly retreated
To work on their plan of attack
MDolley
A saucy nymphette name of Palin
At leading her country was failin’
’til with her legs open wide
She took Nazis in stride
Now her second term’s been smooth sailin’
Motormouth
We’re Nazis on the moon,
We Carry a Harpoon,
But we found no whales,
So we tell tall tales,
And sing our whaling tune
Massive Tom
Forget the ten free passes
Moon Nazis wearing space glasses
Is reason enough
For us to get tough
And pay to seat our own arses
Blindwilly
What we need is a huge asteroid
To appear from out of the void
It could wipe out the bad guys
(Like Mortein kills house flies!)
Who dwell in the dark with… Pink Floyd.
Michael Potter
It’s been 70 years since the war,
And the Nazis would settle the score.
To the movies, my friend!
(It’s releasing May 10.)
Now the moon will be boring, no more.
Robert(B-ob)
Because they all come from the moon
They think they are simply immune
To human attack
But the humans hit back
No matter how many platoons.
Annita
There once was an evil villain,
Who loved causing mayhem and killin’
Sarah Palin’s her name,
She made Nazis look sane,
But audiences – she would thrill ‘em!
Seadragon
We Hail from the dark of the moon,
Our leader sure was a baboon,
Were here for a fight,
to reclaim our right,
Let’s hope we do better than Zune.
Geoffrey D’Unienville
Congratulations to the winners — we’ll be in touch ASAP to arrange the speedy sending of your tickets. Thanks everyone for entering.
I didn't realise plagarism would be rewarded, well done to Massive Tom.
Actually I put that entry in as a joke, didn't expect to win anything.
Also, woo hoo! I won something!

I was thinking the same thing about the plagiarism, so well done for getting one over the Giz guys.
We got the joke / Futurama reference. That's why he picked up a prize -- and he didn't expect to win.
Thanks Alex, there was a lot of funny entries so I honestly didn't expect to be in the top 10.
Yay I finally won something lol, I bet it was cause of my Zune jab :-p
Aww man, I didn't know there was a contest for free tickets! I woulda been on that stuff. I will express my disdain through haiku:
Nazis on the Moon?
I want to witness this fight.
Poor college kid, help!
I don't even know if it's going to be in theatres near me :<
I thought my other one was much better but I am happy to take the win, regardless. And Geoffrey, just be thankful we are not all going to the same session, otherwise you and I would have to have words (I love my Zune).
haha oh im not saying its a bad product (cough) im just saying i think the invading scifi nazis had a better chance of succeeding than microsoft did with that one :P
Check your inboxes peeps ;)
Time for me to be a bad loser..
..meh!
