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 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 awhile!

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!
