Catchy ditty
The judges have chosen a winner in the Mad Honey Sex Limerick Competition, which asked for a limerick to honor the study "Mad Honey Sex: Therapeutic Misadventures From an Ancient Biological Weapon," Ahmet Demircan, et al., Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2009.
The winner is INVESTIGATOR LESLIE ROSENBLOOD, who wrote:
Alternative "doctors" use honey
To part middle aged men from their money.
"It's not poison," they say,
"You'll have sex every day!"
As though fainting and barfing were funny.
Here's the offering from LIMERICK LAUREATE MARTIN EIGER:
It wasn't for love or for money,
I had me some badass mad honey.
The sex was fantastic,
Orgasmic and spastic.
The symptoms thereafter? Not funny.
The runners ups:
DON DAVIS:
‘kay, so you ate some bad honey.
I’m willing to bet even money
You did it for sex.
The symptoms now vex -
The vomiting just isn’t funny.
FRED KING:
Mad honey’s a dangerous lure
For middle-aged men who endure
Indigestion, arthritis,
Diabetes mellitus,
And impotence, too, to be sure.
DANIEL STERMAN:
You’ve got to be slightly unhinged
To go off on a mad honey binge.
Though it might give great sex,
It’s got strong side effects;
It’s Viagra, with free bonus *cringe*.
