Computer-related Poetry
#1) A poem for those over 35
A COMPUTER was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note
A WINDOW was something you hated to clean
And RAM was the cousin of a goat
MEG was the name of my girlfriend
And GIG was a job for the nights
Now they mean all these 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 piano
MEMORY was something you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2 INCH FLOPPY
You hoped no one 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 rodent lived
And a BACKUP happened to a 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!
#2) Why Computers Sometimes Crash (If Dr. Seuss were still around, he might have written this)
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the buss is interrupted at a very last resort,
And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Say's the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cuz as sure as I'm a poet (?) the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
And the macro code instuctions' causing unnecessary risk,
Then you'll have to flash the memory, and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
And then quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!
Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How 'bout you??
(DISCLAIMER- I didn't write 'em, just passing 'em on for your eddification and education! -TD)
