Poem for Computer Users Over 50

 

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 was a profanity

A Keyboard was a piano.
 

A 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 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’s what 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.
