Comic 1087 - Cirith Ungol

There lurks a beast in Cirith Ungol
In atmosphere gloomy and fungal
Her heart black as night
Who quotes... EB White?!
When spinning her spiderweb jungle.

Comic 1026 - Compare and Contrast



My love's like a day in the summer
She's short and she makes you feel glummer
She's wet and she's cold
And unkind to the old—
No wait, that's the wrong season. Bummer.

Comic 1014 - Car Problems



There once was a man from Missouri
Whose car went up, hotter than curry.
Burnt out, boot to bonnet
And to put the cap on it
The pic he took came out all blurry.

I'm going to admit to using half-rhyme in this one, although if you are lucky enough your accent may manouevre them all into the same rhyme-space.

Of course, the man from Missouri himself would say "burnt out, trunk to hood". And he might not eat very much curry. And in all probability, he could have access to superior photographic equipment, which he might very well use rather adeptly. So really, this whole limerick is complete fantasy.

Comic 989 - Cryogenics



To avoid us all being on our pension
When the future brings some great invention
It’s into the freeze...
... We wake up. Hard cheese–
The inventors were all in suspension!

My laptop: delivery missed.
Well I won't just sit here and be dissed!
I will not be ignored -
Now send for my sword!
My sword: delivery missed.

Comic 908 - The Cloud



The Cloud is run out of my attic -
An arrangement that's far from pragmatic.
If I trip on a cable
The world goes unstable
Plus I might graze my knee. Problematic.
