An amusing find

———————————
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

———————————
Your file was 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.

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

 From Snopes.com These originated from a January 1998 contest in Salon magazine, which challenged readers to come up with inventive error messages written as Haiku poems. I found the last one extremely accurate.
