Changin times

Remember a time when a

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 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 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
