AN ODE TO THE WAY WE USED TO THING

A computer was something on TV from a science-fiction show;
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Memory was something that you lost with age.
A CD was a bank account;
An if indeed you had a floppy; you hoped nobody fount 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 awhile!

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And a gig was a job for the night;
Now they mean different things
And that really mega-bytes.

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.
A backup happened in your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife.
Paste you did with glue;
A Website 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' been killed in a computer crash.
But when it happens, they'll wish they were dead.
