This was too good to keep to myself. It was forwarded to me by a co-worker;
I do not know who the author is.

>               What If Dr. Seuss Did Technical Writing?

>  Here's an easy game to play.
>  Here's an easy thing to say:

>  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!

>  You can't say this?
>  What a shame sir!
>  We'll find you
>  Another game sir.

>  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.
>  Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
