A computer was something on TV From a science fiction show
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 your middle finger upright
Now they all mean some 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
Memory was something that you lost with age A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3-1/2" floppy You hoped nobody found out
Compress was something you did to the garbage 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 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 killed in a computer crash But when it happens they wish they were dead
