Haven't seen the computer Haiku. I own (well, I guess the proper term now is guardian) cats. Some of these are hard to read without tears coming to my eyes. ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿCat Haiku You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will show you. You must scratch me there! Yes, above my tail! Behold, elevator butt. I need a new toy. Tail of black dog keeps good time. Pounce! good dog! good dog! The rule for today. Touch my tail, I shred your hand. New rule tomorrow. In deep sleep hear sound Cat vomit hairball somewhere. Will find in morning. Grace personified I leap into the window I meant to do that Blur of motion, then- Silence, me, a paper bag What is so funny? The mighty hunter Returns with gifts of plump birds Your foot just squashed one. You're always typing Well, let's see you ignore my Sitting on your hands. My small cardboard box You cannot see me if I Can just hide my head. Terrible battle I fought for hours. Come and see! What's a "term paper"? Kitty likes plastic Confuses for litter box Don't leave tarp around Small brave carnivores Kill pine cones and mosquitoes Fear vacuum cleaner Want to trim my claws Don't even think about it! My yelps will wake the dead I want to be close To you. Can I fit my head inside your armpit? Wanna go outside. Oh, no! Help! I got outside! Let me back inside! Oh no! Big One has been trapped by newspaper. Cat to the rescue! Humans are so strange. Mine lies still in the bed, then screams! My claws aren't that sharp.... Cats meow out of angst "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs! We could break so much" Litter box not there You must have moved it again I'll crap in the sink The Big Ones snore now Every room is dark and cold time for "Cup Hockey" We're almost equals I purr to show I love you Want to smell my butt. Elevator butt is an everyday occurrence.

From my depraved hard disk: The message you seek Can not be located but Countless more exist A file that big? It might be very useful. But now it is gone. Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return. ABORTED effort: Close all that you have worked on. You ask way too much. Yesterday it worked Today it is not working Windows is like that. 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. 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. Errors have occurred. We won't tell you where or why. Lazy programmers. Seeing my great fault Through darkening blue windows I 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? Server's poor response Not quick enough for browser. Timed out, plum blossom. Login incorrect. Only perfect spellers may enter this system. wind catches lily scatt'ring petals to the wind: segmentation fault The ten thousand things How long do any persist? Netscape, too, has gone. Rather than a beep Or a rude error message, These words: "File not found". To have no errors Would be life without meaning No struggle, no joy No keyboard present Hit F1 to continue Zen engineering? There is a chasm of carbon and silicon the software can't bridge
