the good old days (not my creation!)

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.
.
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
a bug was a creepy crawly
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something you lost with age
hard drive was driving fast for a while
Compress was something you did to the trash
Not something you did to a file

a backup happened to a sink
a boot was foot attire
a mousepad was where a mouse lived
log on was adding wood to the fire


Cut you did with a pocket knife
And paste you did with glue
A web was simply a spider's home
And a virus was just the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory that's in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they'll wish they were dead.
