Why computers crash
Dr. Seuss explains why computers crash:
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
systems gonna crash!
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 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,
till your icons in the windows
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 suckers gonna
hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy
in the disk,
And the macrocode
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!
