Windows Error Message Haikus

[gremlin]

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Error messages with poetry. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen.

-----------------------------
Your file was so big.
It must have been dear to you.
But now it is gone.
-----------------------------

-----------------------------
The Website 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 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-pound 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 seek
Must now be retyped.
-----------------------------

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

Write a haiku properly,
Often make mistakes.

You should give up while,
You're not too far behind, and,
Still have dignity.
