Raise them up…

You must have been very, very hard to raise.”

A POEM FOR COMPUTER USERS OVER 50

 

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 cousin of a 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.

 

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 backup happened to your commode.

 

Cut you did with a pocket knife

And paste you did with glue

A web was a spider’s home

And a virus was a 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.

“Hey Willis!!” the farmer yelled. “Forget it for now. It’s dinnertime. Come eat with us, and then we’ll come back and I will help you turn the wagon back up.”

 

In Over His Head

 

“That’s mighty nice of you, “Willis answered, “but I don’t think Pa would like me to.” “Aw, come on,” the farmer insisted, “you have to eat! We’ll get back to the wagon soon.” “Well okay,” the boy finally agreed, and added, “But Pa won’t like it.” After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. “I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset.”  “Don’t be foolish.” the neighbor said with a smile. “By the way, where is your Pa?”  “Under the wagon.”
