1010 Nerdy Limericks

by Anne Loucks

0001:
A group called the RIAA
tried to keep pirates at bay.
After suing grandmothers
and uncountable others,
they got almost no one to pay.

0010:
I has a cute cat who likes fud
but he's always in a bad mud.
His spelling's a curse,
and his grammar be worse,
so I call teh kitty quite crud.

0011:
When young I wrote C code for play.
Then in college we used ADA.
I learned them both well,
but damn it to hell.
My job's been outsouced to Bombay.

0100:
There once was a big nerd called Cory
who was super, like in a story.
He wore a red cape,
and goggles agape,
DRM and evil his quarry.

0101:
There once was a girl from Missoula
who refused to agree to a EULA.
She installed OSS,
and nerds she did bless,
for now she keeps more of her moolah.

0110:
A capacitor holds charge essential,
while transistors do the sequential,
but both are quite lame
neath double A's fame
for batteies have the potential.

0111:
There once was a girl with a 'f'
who always followed the '@'
They went over the '.'
then through a '+'
and now they must fight a 'r'

1000:
There once was a man we called Linus
who is now the great Linux highness.
Some men in fine tunics,
said he stole their Unix,
but he laughed and smiled with slyness.

1001:
A man needed hertz for a sine
that was found in a bad signal line
He stepped into the fray
and then used Fourier
who's convolving made everything fine.

1010:
I read every XKCD,
for it places a hex upon me.
I can not stop giggling.
I just keep on wiggling,
while I wait for the next one or three.
