The Winner of the President Erdogan Offensive Poetry Competition: Boris Johnson

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
