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 flue!
 
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!
