Life Before Computers................!

An application was for employment

A program was a TV show

A cursor used profanity

And a keyboard was on a piano!


Memory was something that you lost with age

And a CD was a bank account

And if you had a corrupted disk

It would hurt when you found out!



Compress was what you did to 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 a fire

A hard drive was a trip on the road

A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And a backup happened to the commode!

Cutting, you did with a pocket knife,

Pasting, you did with glue.

The Web was where a spider lived

And a virus was the flu!
