If Dr. Seuss were a Technical Writer

---

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 the 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
windows are so 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!
