COMPUTER LANGUAGE FOR PEOPLE OVER FORTY

 A computer was something on TV
From a Science Fiction show of note.
A window was something you hated to clean,
And a ram was 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 they really mega bytes.

 An application was for employment,
A programme was a TV show,
A curser used profanity
A keyboard was a piano. 

A memory was something 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 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.

 

Quote:  I three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life.

.................. it goes on.
