Here is one from me: The Computer Poem A Computer was something on TV From a Science Fiction show of note Window was something you hated to clean And Ram was the father of a goat. Meg was the name of a girlfriend And Gig was a job for the nights Now they all mean different things And that really Mega Bytes. An Application was for employment A Program was a TV show A Cursor used profanity A Keyboard was a piano. A Memory was something that you lost with age A CD was a bank account And if you had a 3-inch floppy You hoped nobody found out. Compress was something you did to the garbage Not something you did to a file And if you Unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while. Log on was adding wood to the fire Hard drive was a long trip on the road A Mouse pad was where a mouse lived And a Backup happened to your commode. Cut you did with a pocket knife Paste you did with glue A Web was a spider's home And a Virus was the flu. I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper And the Memory in my head. I hear nobody's been killed in a Computer crash But when it happens they wish they were dead "The more intelligent you are, the more tenuous your grip on sanity."
