abort, retry, ignore poem

The infamous Abort, Retry, Ignore message box of Windows, with no option given to close it. Found this classic and fun poem about the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message.

There are forests, valleys, plateaus, almost-peninsulas, almost-islands, flatlands, badlands, grasslands, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, canyons, gorges, caves, hills, and even a sea (albeit 500 km away). But no desert. No desert? How come? This question troubled some import
