"IF DR. SEUSS WAS A TECHNICAL WRITER"
If a packet hits a pocket
on a socket on a port,
and the work is interrupted
as a very last resort,
on a socket on a port,
and the work is interrupted
as a very last resort,
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 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 risk,
Then you have to flash your memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM
Quickly turn off the computer
and be sure to tell your mom!

I don't remember this book:
Today you are You, that is truer than true! There is no one alive that is Youer than You----Dr. Seuss (& fishducky)

I do love Dr Seuss. A sadly underrated man. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI agree!!
DeleteThey are all fabulous but I like the last one best...it describes our entire family...we have fallen into weirdness together.
ReplyDeleteWe may be related!!
DeleteThe man was a genius. I'm not ashamed to admit I still own several of his books.
ReplyDeleteOnce my son Blake called me. He had bet a friend that I could recite "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish". He put his friend on the phone & he won his bet!!
DeleteNot having any small children when he became popular, I now realize I missed some real gems of wisdom .Well it is not too late.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late
DeleteTo fill your plate
With ham or goose
Or Dr. Seuss!!
A very good chuckle and a snort too on a Friday. Success. thanks for posting these
ReplyDeleteI'm always proud to get a snort--thank you!!
DeleteDr. Seuss? A technical writer? Somehow, I think it would be beneath his dignity.
ReplyDeleteBut what do Bears really know?
Blessings and Bear hugs, Fishducky!
I think that you (& Yogi) are smarter than the average bear!!
DeleteHa! Dr. Seuss definitely looked through the other end of the telescope. Interesting man! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting is hardly the word!!
DeleteFun stuff! Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? True confession: I gave all our Dr. Seuss books to the grandchildren... except one. "Yertle the Turtle." I kept that one.
ReplyDeleteWho could blame you?
DeleteI've never heard Dr Seuss quite like that before. I love the poems!
ReplyDeleteI try to open your eyes--& your mind!!
DeleteA great treasure of wisdom and fun. Thanks for the early morning cheer.
ReplyDeleteFör dig--helst!!
DeleteMy favorite author! I have his website bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteI hope you read them to your grandbabies!!
DeleteSERIOUSLY .... I still have my son's Dr. Seuss' books .. EVERYone of them ;)
DeleteI don't know how I missed this post, but it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I was wondering where you were--I couldn't find you anywhere!!
