Ode to a Computer,

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 going to 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 it, and let it go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's going to hang.

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the micro-code instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to ram your ROM,
So quickly turn off your computer.

Not bad!

i will have to re-read again and again!

Luvly poem!!!!

kinda kute little rhyme time.actually im a sucker for rhymes so no matter the format it comes in, i still think its kute.but i must ask,how did u stumble ontosomething like this and if u indeed are the author then u must posses some kind of rare inbred talent (onyinbo).yes so i would like to know what u do for a living.

hhhhmmmm, The rhyming is cool, but it doesn't make much sense,
Keep it up, !!!

@poster

When you post an unoriginal piece of work, cite your sources. Subtle disguising a literary piece as one's work. by any name it is plagiarism.

Take note.
