2010-01-09 Mad Honey Sex Poet

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. <http://bit.ly/7OgfWn>

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 judges note that the honey/money/funny troika figured in more
than half the submitted entries. See some of the runners-up at
