Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many volumes of stolen lore.
While I copied, instead of napping,
Suddenly there came a tapping,
As if the cops were gently rapping,
Breaking down my chamber door.
Only this and nothing more.
Best from Beit Shemesh,

Verse 2.
“Forward the Write Brigade!”
Was a disclosure made?
No copy editor knew
Pharma had funded:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to write and lie:
Into the valley of Theft
Wrote the six hundred.

Verse 3.
Ethics to right of them,
Ethics to left of them,
Ethics in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Knowing these rules too well,
Boldly they tried to sell
Lies in the cause of Death.
Into the mouth of Hell
Wrote the six hundred.

Verse 4
Until proven innocent
Blood stains his hands,
Thrown mud, fierce intent,
Sticks where it lands.
Let rascals run riot
And say what they will,
True facts? (keep them quiet!)
We move in for the kill,
Sneered the six hundred.

Judas: Please share the true facts with this blog and its readers. UD

Not completely sure if Judas is agreeing or disagreeing (the name creates confusion) but those first 4 lines are pretty damn good, even if he is saying I’m a bloodstained mudslinger.
