The "If Dr. Seuss Wrote Tehnical Manuals" Story

It was an ordinary day.  The sun is shining in the window and my large cat, "Snickerdoodle" is sitting next to me, looking out the window, waiting for the trash collector to arrive.  I had just picked up my latest free copy of "The Fish Wrapper" yesterday at the grocery store and found a neat poem in it that I thought I would share with you today.

 It happens to be a Dr. Seuss poem....but, even if you don't like Dr. Seuss, you still may enjoy this poem dealing with your computer.  Give it a try....since what do you have to lose.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

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,

the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,

and the double clicking icons put 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 your 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 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 your computer and be sure to tell your mom! 

Any help to you?  I had absolutely no idea what the poem was about, but it

seemed to be fun, so I thought I would pass it along!  LDub!
