There was a computer that cried,
"Yes I'm old, but still have my pride
You can put out my lights
You can say the last rites,
I'm an Osborne - it's time that I died"
- Alec Kitson (Costa Rica and Canada, ex-Brit)

There was a computer that cried,
"My technical bits have been fried,
I took too many jolts
From too many volts..."
(No wonder the ruddy thing died)!
- Alec Kitson (Costa Rica and Canada, ex-Brit)

There was a computer that cried,
"My motherboard's given up and died
"Because you sent me a virus,
"So undesirous,
"That Bill Gates has gone off to hide."
- Mike Wilson

There was a computer that cried,
What I'd give for a digital bride;
She'd be IBM brainy,
And rather main-framey:
The * dot * gal by my side.
- Paul Mitchell (Tampa, FL - USA)

There was a computer that cried
I can think, somehow, deep down inside.
I know it's official
Because I have 'Dell artificial
Intelligence' stamped on my side.

There was a computer that cried
because it's hard drive had just died
And down to the urge
Of a huge power surge
Its processing chips were flash fried
- Terry Wilson, UK
