LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER

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

Memory was something you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account,
And if you had a 3 ¼ 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 would 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 that with a 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.
