COMPUTER LYMERICKS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a format of mine,
That went up to track 89,
The head hit the stop,
And flew out the top,
Now it formats my table just fine!
(From the Pompey Pirates in their campaign against extended formats in
games...[by the way, I just have the menu as a demo - not the pirated
games themselves, in case you were wondering!])
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There once was a language called STOS,
Which had trouble when reading the DOS,
A game I did save,
(Which was rather brave!),
But who cares, I don't give a toss!
(This one I wrote when being pi**ed of after STOS mis-read one of my
disks and corruted the whole lot!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There once was a STOS chap called Burrows,
When questioned, his forehead made furrows,
I said, "Print out text",
He looked rather vexed,
And then STOS manuals he borrowes.
(Just taking the mickey out of poor old Asa - well, give him a chance!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I once programmed on my ST,
ST Basic then peeped out at me,
I cornered the git,
And scared it to sh*t,
And now it's as flat as a flea.
(Anti-ST Basic rhyme. I like it, I like it!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There once was a language called AMOS,
That thought that it was rather famous,
Present MISSING LINK,
And it turned rather pink,
Now it lives in a shed in old Weymouth.
(Just trimming our counterpart down to size!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Presenting Amiga twelve-hundered,
Oops, Commodore seem to have blundered,
For the only screen-shot,
Isn't quite as so hot,
As the Falcon's we seem to have plundered.
(Referring to that wonderful A1200 screenshot of the lovely grey boxes
- and also referring to Atari's rather thin advertising)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In my drive there once was a floppy,
That could swear that it was a poppy,
The disk turned all red,
The catch shot off - dead,
And now it's been getting quite stroppy.
(A completely pointless lymerick which doesn't make any sense at all
but rhymes anyway - I think. da da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaa, yes, it does)
