''Dr Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash...''

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

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

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
<br>says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
<br>but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
<br>that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
<br>and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
<br>so your icons in your window are as wavy as a souse,
<br>then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
<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,
<br>and the macro code instructions cause unnecessary risk,
<br>then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
<br>Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
