SUBJECT: computer blessing, Q & D
|
|
|
|
The following was homework, finally written in the car on the way to class.
|
|
It's thus a bit rough, and may need a first pass reading to get the meter right
|
|
- but it does work. To my HPS: could you capture this and pass a copy to the
|
|
visitor at our coven who wanted it?

Computer Blessing
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blessings on this fine machine,
|
|
May its data all be clean.
|
|
Let the files stay where they're put,
|
|
Away from disk drives keep all soot.
|
|
From its screen shall come no whines,
|
|
Let in no spikes on power lines.
|
|
As oaks were sacred to the Druids,
|
|
Let not the keyboard suffer fluids.
|
|
Disk Full shall be nor more than rarity,
|
|
The memory shall not miss its parity.
|
|
From the modem shall come wonders,
|
|
Without line noise making blunders.
|
|
May it never catch a virus,
|
|
And all its software stay desirous.
|
|
Oh let the printer never jam,
|
|
And turn my output into spam.
|
|
I ask of Eris, noble queen,
|
|
Keep Murphy far from this machine.
|
