LIFE before 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!
