Or overcommericalised sugary emptyness?

Frustrations or a writer?

Sarah joined the world, Hi

It's the log song from Ren and Stimyp, Happy Happy.

The song from the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. Oh and a parody or two.

Haiku Poetry Error Messages

Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third.

Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen.

These have been emailed to me over the years, and I like them so have recorded them here, I have no idea who is the orignal author but they did make me smile. So Thanks.

-----------------------------
Your file was so big.
It must have been dear to you.
But now it is gone.

-----------------------------
The Website you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

-----------------------------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

-----------------------------
Program aborting:
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.

-----------------------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

-----------------------------
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-pound 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 seek
Must now be retyped.

-----------------------------
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
