More Haiku

Some of these are duplicates, which of course implies that others are not! Found at http://www.strangeplaces.net/weirdthings/haiku.html


Three things are certain:Death, taxes, and lost data.Guess which has occurred.

Everything is gone;Your life's work has been destroyed.Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

Windows NT crashed.I am the Blue Screen of Death.No one hears your screams.

Seeing my great faultThrough darkening blue windowsI begin again

The code was willing,It considered your request,But the chips were weak.

Printer not ready.Could be a fatal error.Have a pen handy?

Errors have occurred.We won't tell you where or why.Lazy programmers.

This site has been moved.We'd tell you where, but then we'dhave to delete you.

Wind catches lilyScatt'ring petals to the wind:Segmentation fault

ABORTED effort:Close all that you have.You ask way too much.

First snow, then silence.This thousand dollar screen dies so beautifully.

With searching comes lossand the presence of absence:"My Novel" not found.

The Tao that is seenIs not the true Tao, untilYou bring fresh toner.

The Web site you seekcannot be located butendless others exist

Stay the patient course Of little worth is your ireThe network is down

A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone.

There is a chasm of carbon and silicon the software can't bridge

Yesterday it workedToday it is not working Windows is like that

To have no errorsWould be life without meaningNo struggle, no joy

You step in the stream,but the water has moved on.This page is not here.

No keyboard present Hit F1 to continueZen engineering?

Hal, open the fileHal, open the damn file, Hal open the, please Hal ...please

Out of memory.We wish to hold the whole sky,But we never will.

Having been erased,The document you're seekingMust now be retyped.

The ten thousand things How long do any persist?Netscape, too, has gone.

Rather than a beepOr a rude error message,These words: "File not found."

Serious error.All shortcuts have disappearedScreen. Mind. Both are blank.

This was fun. I am going to steal some of this for a friend who is retiring in the coming months!

Absolutely!

With retirement comes
The infinite pleasure:
Smash the clock?
