Smoky Mountain Apple Trotters (Part 2 of weirdelf's 3 part challenge)

To make apple cider, you boil it,
then drink up, before time can spoil it.
Drink too many cups,
and you're bound to throw up
as you quickly dash off to the toilet!

No, not very good

I claim victory with "Picket Fences" unless you surpass it in Neopoetime. Which is tricky, minutes can feel like hours and months like minutes. Be patient. Then do it

No wait!

you are not telling the truth here.
Behind this limerick is something ugly and hurtful.
Write the whole poem
or tell me I'm wrong.
