Do you haiku? Well, you should.
An ancient Japanese art. Pure beautiful poetry in a simple and elegant form, just perfect for your digital needs.
Haiku is a simple but difficult artform.
It goes like this:
A 3 line poem which doesn't rhyme (but rhyme is not the point).
The first line is 5 syllables
The second line is 7 syllables
The third line is 5 syllables
Be somewhat obscure, be somewhat abstract. Think Zen on wheels and you got it.

Enjoy, laugh and contribute.
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
The Web site 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 has crashed now.
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-dollar 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're seeking
Must now be retyped.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
