A Poem For Computer Users Over 40

[Grey Wolf]

I can relate!



A computer was something on TV,

from a science fiction show of note.

A window was something you hated to clean,

and ram, 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 used profanity;

and a keyboard 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 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 gets killed in a computer crash;

but when it happens, they wish they were dead.

Now I can relate to that!!!!!

I don't have any problem with the pad and paper but the memory in my head has the CRS virus.

ROFLMAO ! If it's funny to me, does that mean I'm showing my age?

 

[Grey Wolf]

Yeah, just think of how many that post here can't connect with this. But that's alright I still feel young even if the body tells me different!

The poll on ages was interesting... I'm getting old, but too stubborn to admit it. I usually go home pretty sore and bruised.



Nice poem.

My forgetter is doing better than my rememberer, but I relate to that. I still think this stuff is mostly witchcraft and I am not sure it is decent to be involved in it.

Greywolf, there is a deadbeat car sales guy in your town who used to live in Oregon who owes me $4,000. Half of it is yours if you can collect it!!!!!! Fat chance.
