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 a while!
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 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!
