Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

A Poetic Explanation

930302-630754-thumbnail.jpgThis doesn't exactly fit with Rebecca's Children's Poetry Month but I suspect that most 10 year olds would probably understand this much better than I do!  I do know enough about computers to think this is hysterically funny.  I read it aloud to myself, twice. 

Why Computers Sometimes Crash! by "Dr. Seuss."
(Read this to yourself aloud)
 

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 'puter's gonna hang.


When the copy on 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, and then quickly turn off the
computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

Sorry about the formatting. The more I tried to fix it, the worse it got.

Just think of it as quirky--like the poem. . .

There, I'm forwarding that to my husband too.

Unless you're on a Mac, then you don't crash or reboot or freeze up or...do I need to go on?
