Did you send me an email? Uncle_DaveO

Yesterday I sang a song on Paltalk, called Computer Technology According to Dr. Seuss. It was well received.

Someone emailed me, requesting the song or a source for it, and I was happy to comply--almost! In the process of composing the message with the song I wiped out the original email, and lost his email address.

This message is in the hope that that writer is a MudCatter. If it's you who asked, please email me again.

Dave, it sounds as though that would be a great song to post, anyway, if there's not a problem with it being posted?

GUEST: Thank you. That name sounds very familiar. Now (if that's the one) I've got to get his/her email address.

Computer Technology According to Dr. Seuss

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 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 on another protocol,

that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is distorted by the side effects of gauss, (phonetic, "gowse")

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 mem'ry and you'll want to

RAM your ROM

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Could a Mudelf fix the formatting of that last verse? I would have sworn that I'd put in BRs at the end of the lines rather than Ps!
