HAIKU - The Funny Side of HAIKU

HAIKU is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku-poems can describe almost anything. Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In japanese, this convention is a must, but in english, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.
Example of Haiku is:

"No one travels
Along this way but I,
This autumn evening."

In Japan, Sony Vaio machines have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with their own Japanese haiku poetry. Each of only 17 syllables. Here are some examples.....if you are familiar with Windows you will find they are actually quite funny:


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

**********************
The Web site you seek
Can not be located
butCountless more exist.

**************************
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

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

*****************************
Windows NT 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.

*****************************
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

******************************
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

***************************
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

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

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