Prayer
Dear God, I think you’d be proud of me!
So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, lusted,
lost my temper, haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty,
selfish or overindulgent. I’m very thankful for that.
In a few minutes, though, I’m going to get …
out of bed. From then on I’m probably going to need
a LOT of help.
Amen.
Get a BREAK now and let us present

Haiku
Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings,
your computer produced error messages in Haiku…
They would read like these:
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
The Web site you seek
cannot be located,
but endless others exist.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask far too much.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen
dies so beautifully.
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
“My Novel” not found.
The Tao that is seen
is not the true Tao, until
you bring fresh toner.
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working
‘Windows’ is like that.
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.
Rather than a beep
or a rude error message,
these words: “File not found.”
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Thank you for reading today’s issue of JOKES Journal.
