Granny's Computer

For Computer Users Over 40

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 father of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for nights.
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega Bytes.

An application was for employment
A program was a radio or TV show.
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was what 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 what you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail fo a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire
A hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to a commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue.
A web was a spiders home
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pen and paper
And the memory in my head.
I hear no one's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!
