If Dr. Seuss Ran Your
Computer
If a packet
hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus
is interrupted at a very last resort,
And the access
of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the
socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor
finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking
icon puts your window in the trash,
And your
data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your
situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the
label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the
network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your
packets want to tunnel to another protocol
That's
repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall . . .
. . . And
your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons
in the window are as wavy as a souse;
Then you
may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause sure
as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.
When the
copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
And the macro
code instructions are causing unnecessary risk,
Then you'll
have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
And then
turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!
