Reading these books to my 5 and 2 yo's at the moment, while fondly remembering myself reading and being read them at the same age.
Great!
Great!

What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Technical Manuals?
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 icons put 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 your cable on the gable at your house,
Says the network is connected to 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,
'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 your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Oh, absolutely! I had seen it somewhere before, but when your post jogged my memory I just put "dr seuss" into google, and followed the "parody" link...securespark said:
Full version here, but I shortened it for effect in my post:

I had noticed the barely-pronouncable "mom" as the last word, which gave it away.
Mom. Just trying to say "mom" properly (instead of making it sound like "marm") makes one's mouth move in unholy ways.
When I was younger I had some American friends. One day when they came round we watched some Blackadder II. They were really enjoying it but got very confused that Queen Elizabeth was Blackadder's mother... "Ma'am" and "Mom" were phonetically identical to them
