Haiku

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

Inspired by the error message haiku competition at salon.com, the source of Charlie Gibbs' poem (my favorite), I've penned a few more just for fun--not all error messages, but in the same spirit of venting.

Time to count pixels--
Width, height, how many per inch.
Where will they all fit?

Your page is perfect
In browsers long forgotten.
Only you will know.

Folders nest on branches,
the ragged tree needs pruning.
No eggs within reach.

Passwords based on pets
Reveal paths and open doors.
