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,

And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,

And your screen is all distorted by the side affects of Gauss,
So your icons in the windows are as wavy as a souse,
