Okay, so the backstory for this is all eloquently explained here, but the gist is that a German comedian read out an insulting poem about Turkish President Recep Erdogan. Since Recep Erdogan, aside from being President of Turkey, is also a world-class dictatorial asshole, he has insisted the comedian be prosecuted under an obscure German law which forbids insulting foreign heads of state.
In response to this, UK journalist Douglas Murray decided to run a “President Erdogan Dirty Limerick” competition (which, delightfully, was won by outgoing mayor of London Boris Johnson) and I thought the Dope’s resident wordsmiths might have fun with it too.
There are only two rules:
- The limericks must be as filthy, obscene, and defamatory as possible.
- The limericks must be as filthy, obscene, and defamatory as possible.
I know that, technically, this is only one rule, but I thought it was such an important one it was worth mentioning twice.
Murray’s entry, just to set the tone, is:
Recep Erdogan is the Turk’ll
Never tire of rim-jobs from his circle
Yet his chief-est delight
(Now Khilafa’s in sight)
Are the felchings he gets from Frau Merkel
And here’s my humble offering:
There once was a ruler from Turkey,
Whose pecker was not very perky,
To this poor flaccid stump,
He appended a pump,
And now it’s as tough as beef jerky
Post your entries here. If I get enough, I might even do a poll to pick the best one. If it gets that far (and I’ll be looking for at least 10-15 entries to make it worthwhile), I will also, as an added inducement, make a $50.00 donation to the winner’s charity of choice ![]()
