Well that was a surprise. Based on past experience I had been expecting 10 entries in the insurance coverage haiku contest. Instead I received 125 or so. [No doubt the offer to send all entrants a fantabulous Coverage Opinions pen is what got so many people’s creativity going.]

With all those entries I decided to name four winners instead of two. Even that was no easy task. Here they are:

Dude owned the Lakers
Tried to get his money back
Repaid some instead
Stephen Berry
Dentons
Atlanta

Not covered all years?
Pro rata seems to make sense
But terms say all sums
Jeffrey Davis
Quarles & Brady LLP
Milwaukee

Ambiguity?
A tie goes to the runner
Insured is runner
Pam Touchstone
Stacy Conder Allen LLP
Dallas

And, as discussed in the last issue of CO, there was an early winner:

At first, Principles
But they’re aspirational
Restatements change law
Lance D. Meyer
O’Meara Leer Wagner & Kohl, P.A.
Minneapolis
