Dr. Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash

(Read this aloud, if you can!)

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 of your floppy's getting sloppy in the
disk, and the macro code instructions cause unnecessary
risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want
to RAM your ROM.

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell
your Mom!

WELL! That certainly clears things up for ME
