 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!

 How Music Affects Teens
By Mariam S., smithtown, NY
Music is something that every person has his or her own
specific opinion about. Different people have different taste,
and various types of music have many ways of leaving an
impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, soothing,
energizing, and many more.
There are so many types of music out there today. Rap,
pop, rock, country, indie, alternative, hardcore are some of the
abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or
bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People
usually become friends with others who have a same taste in
music as the rest of the people they hangout with, or it can be
vice versa. People may not want to associate with people who
have different tastes in music because theyll argue about what
they think is better but its just their own opinions.
 Rap and Rock music are two very important types
of music in the world. They both send out different
messages and help kids. The lyrics sung or rapped by
the artists can be things going on in their own personal
lives, and people with the same types of problems can
listen to them so they know theirs hope and theirs
people like this out there in the world. Music can also
serve as a catalyst for new ideas. When people listen to
the new things out there, they learn different things
going on in the world and they become more open-
minded because theyre exposed to different people
like the artists.
 A lot of people come to the conclusion
that rap music has a very big impact on the
world. Listening to the lyrics, they usually
revolve around sex and drugs and those are
topics many parents dont want their kids
being involved in. Many of the music videos
made by rap artists in the world show these
topics in them. Studies show that people who
are more into rap music do drugs one time in
their lives.
 People can use music to express
themselves, in ways it cant be expressed
through behavior, or art. You can usually tell
how someones feeling by the type of music
he or she is listening to at the time. Its a tool
used by many. Groups of people around the
world can come together and gather at
concerts, shows, and venues to show what
their interests and likings are and you see how
many people have similar likings as you.
 We can personally relate to the
effects that music has on its
listeners and users because its a
big part of our life. Every day we
listen to the words and sounds of
different singers/bands with
contrasting ideas and opinions.
The music we listen makes us who
we are.
