Dr Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash

[dolari]

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 then quickly turn off the computer
and be sure to tell your Mom!

Don't mean to pop my head in like this, but that is just too good and must be linked to. Do you know who wrote it or are you the gifted one?

I can't claim authorship - I actually came across it doing legit tech support:
