Speaking of computers, here's a terrific
little "poem" based on Dr. Seuss. Read it aloud and enjoy. If
you don't understand what you read, use http://www.atomica.com after
you've downloaded the free application to look up the word you don't
quite "get".
Here's the explanation of why computers sometimes crash:
~~~~~~~~~~
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted as 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!

Thrilling, wasn't it? If you read it aloud, it's even better.
If you have kids, you can read it to them.
