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 effect of spam,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as jellied-jam;
then you might as well reboot and go out with a big bang,
'cuz as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
and the macro code instructions cause you unwanted risk,
then you'll have to flash the BIOS and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
So, just quickly turn the dammed thing off and run to tell your Mom!


It's all... So clear to me now... >P

I read a similar one a while ago when I made a presentation to my class on how IP Addresses work. Brilliant poem, not by Dr. Seuss, but the professor who wrote it was inspired by him >XD

The last line is different in my version though. It ended with "Make sure to tell your mom" or something, but it definitely wasn't "So, just quickly turn the dammed thing off and run to tell your Mom!" Doesn't matter, but yeah >:)
http://www.leestrobel.com/ Lee Strobel was once an atheist. I suggest you look at this site if you're still convinced atheism has every reason in the world to be true, and Christianity not.

MySpace v. Facebook: “It’s Not A Decision. It’s an IQ Test”.
Dan Barker: “Never was a Christian. Glad he stopped being a hypocrite all those years ago.”

It was probably an addition/editation by someone who posted it on another board. I myself stole this from Vampire Freak's comedy forum >XD

But Mom can't fix my computer
My Inner Kitten says bite me

The night rules me with an iron fist, the daylight hours are filled with broken dreams and shattered hearts. My mind no longer notes the difference, the daylight hours are long, and the nights longer. Will I ever be set free?

That was an awsome poem.

It reminds me that my and my friends for like 2 moths argued over this one point:

Is Dr. Seuss pronounced with a S or a Z like Zeus?

The "s"'s sound like "z"'s.
