    So haiku is cool?
    You don't see me penning it.
    They don't even rhyme.

    He'd be all mangly.

    Ah, BI... I miss him

    Before they made him, they broke the mould

    And I don't say that about many people.

    There was a young vampire called Mabel
    Who's periods were incredibly stable
    Each month at full moon
    She'd reach down with a spoon
    And drink herself under the table

    Not haiku but a more entertaining style

    Some good IT related ones going round the office last week...

    Out of memory.
    We wish to hold everything!
    But still we cannot.

    Rather than beep
    Or a rude error message:
    These words: "File Not Found".

    Errors have occurred.
    We won't tell you where or why -
    Lazy programmers!

    Chaos reigns within.
    Reflect, repent, and reboot
    Order will return.

    For a new PC,
    Center of my universe,
    I abandon all.

    The code was willing!
    It considered your request,
    But the chips were weak.

    Everything is gone.
    Your life's work has been destroyed.
    Squeeze trigger? (yes/no)

    A file that big?
    It might be very useful.
    But now it is gone.

    No keyboard present
    Hit F1 to continue
    Zen engineering?

    Website has been moved
    We'd tell you where, but then we'd
    Have to delete you.

    The web site you seek
    Cannot be located but
    Countless more exist.

    Aborted effort:
    Close all that you have worked on.
    You ask way too much.

    Windows XP 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.

    Printer not ready.
    Could be a fatal error.
    Have a pen handy?

    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.

    Logon incorrect!
    Only perfect spellers may
    Enter this system!

    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.

    Seeing my great fault
    Through darkening blue windows
    I begin again.

    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.

    10,000 Things
    How long do any persist?
    Explorer is gone.

    Server: poor response
    Not quick enough for browser
    Time out, plum blossom.

    This site uses frames
    And yet your browser does not.
    One of these will change.

    Having been erased,
    The document you're seeking
    Must now be retyped.

    Serious error.
    All shortcuts have disappeared.
    Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

    There was a young fellow named Nick
    Whose limericks weren't any good:
    They didn't rhyme
    And they ended too soon.

    I tried to write a
    Haiku, but got bored so gave
    Up too early

    There was a young man from Japan
    Who's limericks never would scan
    When told it was so
    He said, yes I know
    But I make it a rule to fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can.
