With kids who are taking Computer,
Both parents will now need a tutor,
Or seem to become
Increasingly dumb,
Instead of appearing astuter.

With only one hand on the mouse.

Now I use the computer to pull.
Though I'm older, I'm bolder
And smolder to hold her;
My Hard Drive is constantly full."
--- Val Burns P0510Q

Hard disks can be great razz-ma-tazz;
They compute and do all that jazz;
Unlike poor Joe Schmo
Who can't come, only go
Because software is all that he has.

Dee and I then got in my jalopy,
And things got all sticky and sloppy.
Though the pleasure was great,
Dee's disease took my eight
And now it's a 3.5 floppy.

Your floppy is getting Dee's oft stare,
As well as her snickering, coughed glare.
Your hard drive has crashed
And Dee, feelings smashed,
Is left with your outdated software.

At work, I have stayed much too late.
My head is so sore,
I must sleep before
On my keyboard, I lay down my pate.

From the great to the small,
And was cool as a penguin in heat.

A systems programmer named Sprotic,
Found his software intensely erotic.
In jealous distress,
He wiped his OS.
It's possible that he's psychotic.

Noting the orthoepy of router, (customary pronunciation)
While no one could doubt her
When she called it a router,
She felt that a router was cuter.

To find her a husband first rate.

Seduced her twice slyly,
Before finding a qualified mate.

A lady programmer from Utah
Fell in love with her handsome computah,
And when hot with desire
Encompassed its wire --
Which speedily rendered her neutah.

There was this odd programmer guy
Who came to this page bye and bye.
He entered a rhyme
And blushed red as wine;
Just goes to show that he's shy.

Whose solder was soft and eutectic.

And as we all know,
That's when it quickly turned hectic!

With insidious poop,
Even me and Hussein and the Pope, yet.

She kicked my hard copy;
My 'Lan', I was tempted to curse her.

From dawn till the end of the day.

Computers are near,
Not the company, as some people say.

Though I study both hard and long,
I never can see
Till I hit ENTER key,
The thing that I did that was wrong.

The old fashioned ways are all wet;
I will not stay with them, you bet!
Why bother to look
It all up in a book?
I can do twice as much on the Net!
--- Tom Marlowe

That computing is first about coding,
Is a thought I find simply foreboding.
We should teach them instead
About using their head
Or in 10 years, careers will be folding.

Whose gender was kept in the dark.
He/She/It said with a nod,

With a fellow who wasn't for real,
Sharing virtual laughs
Over GIFs, PIFs and gaffes,
'Til he turned her off, lacking appeal.

A computer-matched date left young Irv
Without some of his usual verve.
"For," he told his friend Harry,
"It's just a bit scary
To find out what you really deserve."

Computers have minds of their own
For PC'ers, this widely is known.
Windows is such a joke,
Gates' license we'll revoke,
'Cause Macintosh seeds have been sown!

To me, its quite plain to see
The poor man in Kent must be
A Microsoft user
A natural loser
Using Windows 95 or NT

While in Windows his message was fine,
'till he sent it along down the line.
It got lost in the Sun
(and that wasn't much fun;
the MX was all in a Bind).

In this trip to the ultimate leap.
My tears are untrussed
For I see that I've just
Wiped a file I intended to keep.

Carole, my lovely betrothed,
A particular habit of mine loathed.
I'd awake late at night,
And strange verse I would write,
As I sit at the 'puter unclothed.

Posting THAT one was more than a pain
And I often took Gate's name in vain
After every foul crash.
(Hey - who can I bash
After Micro$soft's sundered in twain?)
--- Anon

Gates demo'd his Win-98,
At a lucheon for dollars a plate.
But his new system crashed
And old Billy got bashed,
By his audience, unfed and irate.
--- Ystap TP9804

I'm not a believer in fate,
But if Gates were to reincarnate,
He'd return as a nun,
Attila the Hun,
Or perhaps Alexander the Great!

This is file wom

That wonderful human, Bill Gates
Reviewed his incredible rates.
He chortled with glee,
Oh say, don't you see
I've a product they love to hate.
--- SlvrBear

Bill Gates says that he has no edge,
His system is merely a wedge,
To make your PC
Jump up and say "Whee!"
IE is the "fix", that's his pledge.
--- Ystap

He's the titan of software, I've heard,
Though he looks pretty much like a nerd.
"Where do you want to go?"
Microsoft wants to know,
Which is what Bill is asked when chauffeured.
--- Larry Hollister

Gates is smart, tempermental, and surly;
To outfox him, you'd better start early.
He's ensured his survival,
Destroying each rival,
But the Gates he won't get past are Pearly.
--- Larry Hollister a

Bill Gates, you're a wonderful guy;
Your money could reach to the sky;
Give me some cash,
Or your stocks will go crash,
And you kiss your sweet ass goodbye.
--- John Miller's daughter

Bill Gates is much richer than I;
There's not much that his money can't buy.
But his wealth can't prevent
An attacker hell-bent
On assaulting his face with a pie.

Hickory Dickery Bill
Wants to be King of the Hill;
To be the main one
Of the browsers we run...

Bill Gates built a very big house;
He loved it but not so his spouse.
"It's huge and it's drafty
And you have to be crafty
When you spend all day strapped to a mouse."
--- Jim Weaver Collection a

Oh such a reward from the Fates,
That someone as smart as Bill Gates,
Who can have it all,
Hears from people small,
Whom I would consider ingrates.
--- Chris Papa

He earned what he has, if you will,
With bold entrepenurial skill,
But like ATT,
Some folks hate to see;
If it's big, they've just got to kill.
--- Chris Papa

Oh let us sing praise and raise cheers,
For athletes that chew off their ears,
Or lawyers who see,
Great wealth, OJ free,
Living on lies and folks fears.
--- Chris Papa

Remember the savings-loans gents?
Where are all their punishments?
The same crew abroad
Take Asia to fraud;
The poor get to pay all the rents.
--- Chris Papa

So now we have our "honest" Feds,
Who sleep with such crooks in their beds,
Going after Bill,
The ploy, a good shill.
They'll wear the "white hats" on their heads.
--- Chris Papa

Perhaps Bill can say "can't remember",
And apologize ere they dismember,
Or fine tune a poll,
By taking on role,
And get a new dog in December.
--- Chris Papa

He must then select a cute bitch,
The canine type, of course, the which
Will need a name new,
Then like me and you,
Call her "Dolly", after aunt rich.

Better give Internet to Japan,
Then grovel as best as you can.
When our wealth is gone,
The sun will shine on,
Success for the new Asian man!

When a girl from Seattle he dates,
He shows her the Needle,

Like oven warmed cheese -- let's say Brie.

Like it's not an Altair!"
And Paul Allen is softer than me!"

His date showed disgust for this fare
And replied, "DOS is too much to bear.
Windows we need
If we must do the deed.
Please let me get out for some air!"

Well, things they just got really GUI,
And before you all could say phooey.
No matter what you think
Of Gates and his dink,
You have to admit he is chewy.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Have you no pity for Gates?
He who judge Jackson berates.
Bill swears he is innocent
But Jackson is vehement,
'Cause Windows monopoly he hates.

To force Microsoft to a SCISSION
Has long been Justice's vision,
In nailing Bill Gates
And his billionaire mates,
But mostly they're met with derision.

Bill Gates has erected a guard
To see that all cross-links are barred.
But I'd sure like a whack
At that cute little Mac --
And to prove it, my C: drive is hard.

Bill's software indeed's pretty hard,
Full of bloatware and bugs by the yard.
But if I were Bill Gates,
I'd ignore you ingrates
And my lims would get royal regard.

A fellow named Gates, no carouser,
Indicted because of his browser,
Cried: "Reno at Justice
Is trying to bust us;
Just what did we do to arouse her?"

Bill Gates was always quite glad,
When a googolplex of money he had.
But when NASDAQ it dropped,
His big bubble popped,
And the billion that left seemed too bad.

Microsoft called them all temps,
In a crude and transparent attempt
To reap their production,
But give them no options,
And from benifits keep them exempt.

Bill Gates, I've heard, thinks
Of a new software package and winks.
Now you can smell on the Net
But you can't do it yet
'Cause you have to buy Microsoft Stinks.

"I intend to establish the rates
For all commerce and fun
That is under the sun,
But just in contiguous states."

His new bride made this crack,
"We need hardware, not software in bed."

Gates's clothing he decided to doff.

Why your company's called Micro Soft."

I'll report you for being so lewd.
What's your name?" "William Gates."
"And your friend?" "Master Bates.
Now stop staring through Windows, you prude."

Some days, it's my earnest contention,
To write to Bill Gates and just mention
That Windows, it seems,
Was hatched as bad dreams,
Made like a Rube Goldberg invention.
