Comic 995 - Coinstar

A man in a financial pickle
Used choc coins to vend a Popsicle.
He got it to work
With a nudge and a jerk
But the ice lolly tasted of nickel.

Comic 994 - Advent Calendar

If you are a Christmas Day keeno
Don't buy Advent goodies from Zeno.
As each half-time passes
Time flows like molasses
With infinite points in between-o.

So begins Limerixkcd's annual post-Christmas catch-up. More soon.

Ho-ho-hiatus

Hello, readers.

As Christmas draws near and the goose starts to become nervous as well as fat, I fear I must leave my post for a week or two in order to participate fully in the festivities. I remove my limerick hat in order to done a paper hat from a cracker. I cease to read XKCD and must substitute rib-tickling Christmas cracker jokes.

It is not impossible that I may update irregularly during this period, though I fear that where I am going, reception for my bilberry wireless netting device is likely to be scant. But rest assured as you make merry, or huddle Grinch-like in a high-backed chair, that normal service will be resumed in the early days of 2012.

Until then, merry Christmas, one and all, and do be sure to eat a piece of pudding for me.

Comic 988 - Tradition

The American radio trade
Has not heard of Wizzard or Slade.
Their fave festive ditties
All come from the fi'ties
So Shaky just never gets played.

Comic 959 - Caroling

There once was a good old King Wenceslas
Whose charity spared no expenseslas
But you can't please 'em all
So when carolers call
They should know that they might cause offenceslas.

Back up to date!

Comic 838 - Incident

It's a popular programmer's sport
To sneak more privilege than one ought
But you'd better not try
And I'm telling you why:
Because Santa Claus gets the report.

Original comic here.

Nice to get this one up with a couple of days of Christmas still remaining.

I'm afraid that the computer commands featured in this comic are one form of Gibberish in which I am not well versed, so it's possible I may have misunderstood something. Even if this turns out to be the case, perhaps you will enjoy the limerick for its own sake.

Comic 835 - Tree

A festive young fellow from Pyle
Decorated in digital style.
His HEAP and his TREE
So pleased his family
That he'll Christmas elsewhere for a while.

Original comic here.

And a merry Christmas to one and all from Limerixkcd!
