Why Computers Sometimes Crash!
By Dr. Seuss.
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,
'cuz 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 is causing unnecessary risk,
then you'll have
to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
and
then
quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom! 
Well,
that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?
