Computer Error Haiku
What if Bill Gates had been a poet? We might see error messages like the following:
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
The file you need
might be very useful.
But now it is gone
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Wind catches lily,
Scattering petals to the ground.
Segmentation fault.
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
Your file is not found.
The Web site you seek
Cannot be located but
Others still exist.
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
Page not found error.
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
No keyboard present.
Press F1 to continue.
Zen engineering.
This site has been moved.
We would tell you where, but then
We’d have to kill you.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?
