haiku error messages

imagine if instead of the cryptic error messages you get from your computer, they are produced in haiku like these...
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
- Suzie Wagner

I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
- Margaret Segall

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

Computer won’t boot?
Observe this most ancient rule:
Plug the machine in.

Your life's work has been destroyed.
Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers.
