What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Techincal Manuals?

[Jorja]

I know this might have been better suited for the 'laughs' section.. but it's of technical nature... some of the references may not be as funny to the general populous!!!

What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Techincal Manuals?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address 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 icons put 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 your cable on the gable 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,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

I almost peed myself reading this !!!

If Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals, I'd understand the damn things!

If Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals, maybe I could actually get green eggs and ham for breakfast!

As one who regularly reads about phlugs, gnorks, zax and how many feet you meet while devouring green eggs and ham...

Thanks for this find Jorja, this gave me a much needed daily chuckle.

I didn't write it...but its a great piece!!
