A POEM FOR THOSE OVER 30
>
> 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 that you lost with age
> A CD was a bank account
> And if you had a 3-in. 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 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.
