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 risc,
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!

nope, that isn't it... Seriously, it's actually somewhat amusing. I love this kind of stuff... always amuses me!

Hey Kevin...

Will you be posting 57 copies of it? Because that seems appropriate for a MacNN blooper thread.

There seems to be some sort of script that goes around and cleans up duplicate posts... I just made a huge duplicate post in another thread, and my turds were automatically erased.

Otherwise, yes, this would be ripe for an awesome BLOOPER!!

I really liked it! Did you write it?

[Kevin]

No, no I did not.

I've seen the poem before, and I am again amused by it. And most people CAN'T read it out loud, even after practice, let alone recite it from memory. It's too fast and too rhythmic. It reminds me of a Danny Kaye routine-not just one but many of them. "The pestle with the poison's in the chalise from the pallace." Great!

Holy crap, someone mentioned Danny Kaye! His movies are great. Great physical actor.

And by the way, is there a term for talking in "punny pics"? No typing, just posting "punny pic" after "punny pic" to get your message across. There seems to be enough of those pics out there to hold quite the engaging conversation. Now all we need is an equally "punny" term to describe it.
