A computer was something on TV 
from a science fiction show of note.
a window was something you hated to clean. . . 
And ram was the male 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 
a keyboard was a piano.

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 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.
