Life Before The Computer
 
     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 floppy
     You hoped no one 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 awhile!
  
     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!
