THE GOOD OLD DAYS

                                      Author Unknown


                            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 curser used profanity
                                A keyboard was a piano.


                        Memory was something you lost with age
                                A CD was a bank account
                              And if you had a 3-in. floppy
                              You hoped nobody found out.


                      Compress was something you did to the trash
                              Not something you did to a file
                         And if you unzipped anything in public
                                You'd be in jail for a while.


                           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 a backup happened to your commode.


                             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.

The good old days

  • 1. THE GOOD OLD DAYS Author Unknown 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 curser used profanity A keyboard was a piano. Memory was something you lost with age A CD was a bank account And if you had a 3-in. floppy You hoped nobody found out. Compress was something you did to the trash Not something you did to a file And if you unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while. 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 a backup happened to your commode. 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. http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish LearnEnglish Central-- Poems
