Computer Swallowed Grandma
Submitted by: Beverly Faith
Author: unknown

The computer swallowed grandma,
Yes, honestly it's true.
She pressed "control" and "enter"
And disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely,
The thought just makes me squirm.
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin
and files of every kind:
I've even used the Internet,
but nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative,
Not a thing was found "online".

So, if inside your "Inbox",
My Grandma you should see,
Please "Copy", "Scan" and "Paste" her
And send her back to me!

Up To Date

A 28k modem is slower than fate
A 386 is a paperweight
A 4x CD is not so great
But my love for you is up to date

A 5 inch floppy is hard to find
A 12 inch screen will leave you blind
An all DOS system is way behind
But my love for you is the modern kind

The pace of change is getting faster
The new technology is hard to master
Today's new computer will be out to pasture
But losing you would be real disaster

I can make it fine with my old stuff
So much of the new is merely fluff
I'll never be a technology buff
But since I have you I have enough.

this one ain't mine, it's Monzy's and it's great:

Your mom circulates like a public key,
Servicing more requests than HTTP.
She keeps all her ports open like Windows ME,
Oh, there's so much drama in the PhD.

or this one: poem();

string poem( )
{ static int c = 0, a;

  if(c<3)
  {c++;
    std::cout << "roses are red\n";
    return poem(); 
  }
  else
  {return "I'm recursive";}

}
