"Will you walk into my parlor?", said the spider to the fly,
"Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair, and I have many curious things to show you when you are there".

- "A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer" is a very popular, often published, and frequently stolen poem written in classical Dr. Seuss,
Cat-In-Hat style. The poem has a colorful history of both pain and pleasure for the author.
Persistently viral since 1994. Read and enjoy, but don't steal.

Guide". This one has been adopted by various writing programs and teachers groups around the
world to teach internet publishing ethics.
