Life Before the Computer

1 comments
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 1/2 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 awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a 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 flue!
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!

Poem for Computer Geeks

What if Dr. Seuss Wrote Computer Manuals?


If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,

and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,

and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,

Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.



If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash

and the double-clicking icons put your window in the trash

and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,

Then your stiuation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash.



If the label on your cable on the gable at your house,

says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,

But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,

That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.



And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,

so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,

Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,

Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.



When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,

And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,

then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,

Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!
