All’s well, we check again,
With solemn mug and coffee stain;
The warning lamp attempts to chime,
Then thinks it through and keeps good time,
As if it feared a stern refrain.
We ping, we prod, we count to ten,
We skim the logs for hidden pain;
If anything dares drift off time,
All’s well, we check again.
No dragons lurk in wire or pen,
No gremlins gnaw the gears again;
The charts keep step, the dials align,
The backups curtsey, queues behave fine,
Yet still we raise the checklist, then:
All’s well, we check again.
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.
