Computer Haiku


Found this in my ancient “humor” folder. It was probably sent to me in one of those old emails - after all this time, I still find this little collection of computer haiku very cheerful.

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

Windows Version 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.

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred?

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Having been erased,
The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

    i do admit, that was a very amusing poem, but it was not a true haiku. that is because haikus only have tree lines. the sylables go 5-7-5, and that’s it. there isn’t another verse to a haiku.

    um… I think it was intended as a collection of such haikus….
