Modern version of Edgar Allen Poe
Abort, Retry, Ignore?

One upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor.
Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets.
Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer,
I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store,
Only this and nothing more.

Deep into the monitor  peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
Doubting, while the disk kept chruning, turning yet to churn some more.
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
"Save!" I said, "You cursed machine! Same my data from before!"
One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothng more,
Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
