If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, |
| |
|
4 |
<br>and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, |
| |
|
5 |
<br>and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, |
| |
|
6 |
<br>then the socket packet pocket has an error to report! |

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, |
| |
|
9 |
<br>and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, |
| |
|
10 |
<br>and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, |
| |
|
11 |
<br>then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gunna crash! |

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, |
| |
|
14 |
<br>says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, |
| |
|
15 |
<br>but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, |
| |
|
16 |
<br>that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, |
| |
|
17 |
<br>and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, |
| |
|
18 |
<br>so your icons in your window are as wavy as a souse, |
| |
|
19 |
<br>then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, |
| |
|
20 |
<br>because as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gunna hang! |

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, |
| |
|
23 |
<br>and the macro code instructions cause unnecessary risk, |
| |
|
24 |
<br>then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. |
| |
|
25 |
<br>Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom! |
