WHAT IF DR. SEUSS DID TECHNICAL WRITING?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus
is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address 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 on 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 as sure as I'm
a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM
your ROM
Quicky turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom
