Ten Little Gigabytes

Ten little gigabytes, waiting on line,
One caught a virus, then there were nine.

Nine little gigabytes, holding just the date,
Someone jambed a write protect, then there were eight.

Eight little gigabytes, should have been eleven,
Then they cut the budget, now there are seven.

Seven little gigabytes, involved in mathamatics
Stored an even larger prime, now there are six.

Six little gigabytes, working like a hive,
One died of overwork, now there are five.

Five little gigabytes, trying to add more,
Plugged in the wrong lead, now there are four.

Four little gigabytes, failing frequently,
One used for spare parts, now there are three.

Three little gigabytes, have too much to do,
Service man on holiday, now there are two.

Two little gigabytes, badly over run,
Took the work elsewhere, now just need one.

One little gigabyte, systems far too small,
Shut the whole thing down, now there's none at all.
