POEM FOR COMPUTER USERS OVER 40 

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 father of a goat. 

Meg was the name of my 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. 

Memory was something that you lost with age. 
A CD was a bank account. 
And if you had a 3.5-in. 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.
