From The Register

Laptops roasting it's an open fire
Acrid fumes assail your nose
Melting chips smell like burning tires and
Techs dressed in asbestos clothes

Everybody knows short circuits in a battery
Help to make the office bright
End users with their cubes all aglow
Will find it hard to work tonight

They know a recall's on its way
Before the desk is charcoaled in a blaze
And every engineer is gonna spy
To see if laptops really know how to fry

And so I'm remembering this simple phrase
like geeks from one to ninety two
Although we dread it many times many ways
Yeah, we're getting a Dell, Dude!
