Hi Sean -
Can't say I made it up... a friend sent it to me.  I had to share :-)

Did you make that up Tim, or did you find it somewhere?

Dr. Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash

(Read this aloud, if you can!)

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 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, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the
sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in
the disk, and the macro code 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!
