Decided to open his door rack.
But then Dvorak slipped,
And suddenly tripped,

2$\begingroup$ I guess it's a sort of "you know it or you don't" sort of riddle. I can guarantee you that anyone who hasn't heard of the Dvorak layout wouldn't have gotten it so quickly. $\endgroup$– user88Apr 14, 2015 at 19:28

The last line is:
And fell headfirst into the floor rack.
The line was encrypted by typing in the Dvorak keyboard layout as if the keys were still in the standard QWERTY layout.
You can use this keyboard for reference.

$\begingroup$ Could you please explain better your answer? It's too brief, I didn't understand what's the link between dvorak and qwerty. $\endgroup$– leoll2Apr 14, 2015 at 18:03

1$\begingroup$ I don't mean "jumbled" as in "rearranged", just in the sense of "nonsensical". $\endgroup$– user88Apr 14, 2015 at 18:04
