The following was cribbed from a Sunday magazine.
Thought it might amuse.
Haiku poetry has strict rules. Each poem has only three lines and 17
syllables.
Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving
powerful insight through their brevity.
Here's how they might benefit unhelpful Microsoft error messages.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, reboot.
Order shall return.
Windows has crashed.
I am the blue screen of death,
No one hears your screams.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
The Tao that is seen
is not the true Tao -- until
you bring fresh toner.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Cheers

The sun is the same in a relative way,
but I'm older;
Shorter of breath,
.........and one day closer to death.
