What if Dr. Seuss wrote tech manuals?
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 cusor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icons put your windows
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 gable 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, your system'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
Quickly turn off your computer,
and be sure to tell your mom!
