A computer was something on TV
from a science fiction show,
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 when a band played at night.
Now they all mean different things,
and that really megabytes!
An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show,
A cursor used profanity,
And 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 1/2" 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 pocketknife,
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!
