HUMOR

A POEM FOR COMPUTER USERS OVER 30

A computer was something on TV

from a science fiction show of note

A window was something you had to clean

and a ram was a cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend

and a gig was a job for the night

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 you lost with age

A CD was a bank account

and if you had a three inch floppy

you hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage

not something you did to a file

and if 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 spiders 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.

SPIRITUAL MESSAGE

People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway. Kent Keith
