- 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 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 3 1/2 inch 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 pen 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!
