Computer Error Messages
in Haiku
|
It is rumored that in Japan, they have replaced computer error messages that tend to be impersonal and unhelpful with their own haiku poetry. Each has seventeen syllables -- five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. |

Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. |
A file that big? It might be very useful. But now it is gone. |
The web site
you seek Can not be located but Countless more exist. |
Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. |
Aborted effort: 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. |
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. |
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. |
