Reminds me of "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke.

I can't pick just one, but here are three (in order) that struck me, made me think, and made me laugh:

"there will Come Soft Rains". By Ray Bradbury in "The Martian Chronicles"
"second Person, Present Tense" by Daryl Gregory
"And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon" by Paul Di Filippo
