‘…the aim of the competition is to be as filthy and insulting as possible about Recep Erdogan’

Via Laura Rosen Cohen — Douglas Murray at the Spekkie introduces… “The President Erdogan Offensive Poetry Competition – £1000 prize to be won”

I’m a free-born British man, and we don’t live under the blasphemy laws of such despots.  So in honour of this fact I have spent the weekend writing rude limericks about Mr Erdogan.  And I would hereby like to invite all readers to join me in a grand Erdogan limerick competition.  That isn’t to say that entries which come in the form of Iambic pentameters, or heroic couplets will be completely discounted.  I think a work in the Homeric mode, for example, about the smallness of Erdogan’s manhood could (if suitably disgusting) stand some chance of winning.  But I recommend limericks because almost everything insulting that is worth saying can usually be included within the five lines of that beautiful and delicate form.
