There was a young fellow from Ankara
Who was a terrific wankerer
Till he sowed his wild oats
With the help of a goat
But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Managing to be suitably vulgar whilst refraining from using any truly excessive four-letter words (I am SO tired of the modern habit of using the F-bomb as a sort of punctuation and exclamation mark). It achieves one of the first aims and objects of any poem worthy of the name, to wit…**stick in the memory like a burr**. It exhibits something of the spirit shown in the famous WWII rhyme, or chant, that cast aspersions upon the testicular endowment of, respectively, Der Fuehrer, Goering, Himmler and Goebbels.
What has happened in Germany? Not once did I read about a Ferkel, piglet in German, almost indistinguishable from Merkel..
I only got one line : Ein Stasi Ferkel and ein Muselman.. Waiting for inspiration.
