Poem for Over 35
writer unknown

From a science fiction show of note
a computer was something on TV
A window was something you hated to clean
and Ram was the cousin of goat

Meg was 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-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 would be in jail for a while

log on was adding a wood to the fire
hard drive was a long trip on the road
a mousepad was where a mouse lived
and the 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
(end?)
but you can not spend computer cache
