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 the
goat.
Meg was the name of my girlfriend,
And a gig was a job for the night.
Now they all mean different things,
And to me that really mega
bytes.
An application was for unemployment,
A program was a TV show.
A
cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano.
Memory was something you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account.
And
if you had a 3.5 inch floppy,
You hoped nobody found out!
Compress was what 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 backup happened to your
commode.
Cut you did with scissors,
And paste you did with glue,
A web was a
spider's home,
And a virus was the flu.
There's still wisdom in pad and paper,
And memories remaining in my head.
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash,
But when it happens
they're virtually dead!
