| If Dr. Seuss Were a Technical Writer..... |
| |
| Here\'s an easy game to play. |
| Here\'s an easy thing to say: |
| |
| 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! |
| |
| You can\'t say this? What a shame, sir! |
| We\'ll find you another game, sir. |
| |
| 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! |

| Hard for PL/I compilers to understand. The key to understanding this |
| is that there is no lexical distinction between keywords (IF, THEN, |
| and ELSE) and variables, which can also be IF, THEN, and ELSE. |
| Likewise, there is no lexical distinction between testing for equality |
| (\'=\') and assignment (\'=\'). So, this means: If the variable IF is |
| equal to the variable THEN, assign the variable ELSE to the variable |
| THEN, otherwise, assign the variable IF to the variable ELSE. As with |
| many tongue twisters in natural languages, this is NOT good style. |
