JAPAN
|
 |
Computer Haiku.
In
Japan, impersonal, Microsoft messages are replaced with
Haiku poetry. Poems have 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the
first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the third:
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 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.
Your file was so big.
It must have been quite 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.

A mountain
farmer got in his pickup and drove several miles to a
neighboring farm and knocked on the farmhouse door. A
young boy, about 12, opened the door.
"Is yer pa home?"
the farmer asked.
"No sir he ain't,"
the boy replied.
"He went to
town."
"Well"
said the farmer,
"is yer ma
here?"
"No, she ain't here either.She went to town with pa."
"How
about your brother, Joe, is he here?"
"He
went with ma and pa."
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from
one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do fer ya?",
the boy inquired politely.
"I know
where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or
maybe I could take a message fer pa."
"Well,"
said the farmer uncomfortably.
"I really
wanted to talk to yer pa. It's about your brother Joe
getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."
The boy considered for a moment.
"You would
have to talk to pa about that",
he finally conceded.
"But if it
helps you any, I know that pa charges $50 for the bull
and $25 for the boar hog but I really don't know how
much he gets for Joe."
