Comic 871 - Charity



If you do a nice thing and show parity
Between buying yourself things and charity
Some still will implore
You to give even more
While scrooges are spared their vulgarity.

Classic comic 357 - Flies



I know an old man from Devizes
Who sets out a bowl to catch flieses.
They all shun his honey
But vin's on the money -
Life's full of these funny surprises.

I think using balsamic vinegar is cheating a bit, like if you took a horse to water when you knew it was really thirsty.

Comic 870 - Advertising



A bargain-hound from Ensenada
Saved up to a quarter on Prada
Just guess her emotion
When this vague promotion
Turned out to save nada de nada.

Comic 869 - Server Attention Span



Request any page from the server
And it will assist you with fervour
But smartphones will find
That they get left behind -
The request slips its mind, by Minerva!


Original comic here.

And who among us hasn't, at one time or another, called upon a Roman goddess in our online frustration?

Classic comic 703 - Honor Societies



The first rule of Tautology Club
(Which acts as a networking hub
For the people who do
All the things that they do):
The first rule of Tautology Club.


Original comic here.

I don't know what an honour society is.

Comic 868 - Nolan Chart



There's one thing online libertarians
Whether striplings or sexagenarians
All hold in their hearts
And that's diamond-shaped charts -
They're baseball fans crossed with contrarians.

Comic 867 - Herpetology



In the view of some mean ornithologists
We should pity the daft herpetologists.
A taxonomical blunder
Comdemns them; file under
Reptilo-amphibo-apologists.
