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.
