Good and Plenty- an aphrodisiac????

by @john-f-mccullagh

I nearly fell out of my comfortable chair when I heard some sexologist declare: “The scent of licorice in the air makes men and women want to pair. Far more effective than cologne, Use licorice or you’ll sleep alone.” Some say Chocolate gets you “Honey”- I say try some “Good and Plenty” Remember Charlie? he was an engineer He didn’t drink coffee and abstained from beer “Charlie had an engine and he sure had fun He used “Good and Plenty” candy cause it made his “train” run” For all I know, this tale is baloney Licorice may leave you horny and lonely. But if you are lonely and feeling forlorn, candy’s much cheaper than rhinoceros horn.

Notes

Second stanza borrows librally from the "Good and Plenty commercial jingle hence the use of quotes. This is based on a strange video article I saw on Yahoo. Intended as comedy.
