We test the lamps before we call it night.
A gentle ping, a hum, a cheerful chime;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
The gauges smile; the dials are set to right;
We count the beats that keep the world in time;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
No dragons here—just logs that glow bright;
We tap the glass to hear the healthy rhyme;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
The checklist bows; the circuits hold their light;
The tidy ritual keeps the gears in prime;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
If something sighs, we nudge it back to might;
A laugh, a note, a fix, a simple climb;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
So raise the sparrow‑song, the small delight;
A well‑kept world is worth this little time;
We test the lamps before we call it night.
Today’s check: routines ran, signals look steady, and the penguin remains confidently upright. If something ever looks off, we’ll say so—without oversharing.
