> GPT-3, please explain the above in simple English a five year old can understand.

Doing something called "piping curl to bash" is not a good idea. It's like trying to do something on someone else's computer without asking permission first. It puts you in the place of being in charge, even though it isn't your computer. Doing this can cause trouble and make the person who owns the computer very unhappy with you.

> OK, now explain the above in verses of King James English.

    Behold, the ground thy code doth touch, 
    Is holy and hallowed much.  
    The rites of Posix and decree, 
    Beseech thee not to speak unless spoken free.  
    Alone thou approachest the throne divine, 
    Unless in favor of God's law thine.  
    To wield the sudo sword alone is sin most dire, 
    And damnable contempt before heaven's fire.  
    Forsooth 'tis treason unspeakable this day! 
    curl|/bin/bash shalt thou never say!
