Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret at back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat tick dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka number four,
Ampersand right-paren dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket tilde tilde CRASH
Wah-hoo from Black Belt Bugbear

Dr. Sloosh Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted at 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 was disabled
By 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, that 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.
Quickly turn off the computer
And be sure to tell your Mom!
