3. Foreword
Here's an easy game to play,
Here's an easy thing to say:
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 icon puts your
window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the
index doesn't hash,
Then the situation's hopeless, and your
system's gonna crash!
YOU CAN'T SAY THIS? WHAT A SHAME SIR!
WE'LL FIND ANOTHER GAME SIR
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
on 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!
