In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “An Extreme Tale.”
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
Thinking of these lines
First thoughts in my mind –
I hate it, I love it
When web services do not work
It can bring me to my knees
Why oh why oh please!
Troubleshoot and analyze
Sleep a luxury, no time to eat
Life comes to a halt
Because I have code that doesn’t run!
Managers, deadlines, clients
Breathing down my neck
We have a plan, don’t you know
Yeah I know, and I have code that doesn’t run!
What to do, what to do?
Calm down, breathe, make some tea
I have no time to sleep
Until finally
Sweet finally
After days and nights
Tears and strife
A few changes here and there
And we have success!
Oh sweet code, alive
I have a result!
Tears of joy, fall to my knees
Highs and lows
Moods and swings
Roller coaster work
Roller coaster life
Clever.

Thank you, writing poetry is so much easier than writing code that doesn’t run 🙂 actually writing code that doesn’t run is the easy part! It’s the getting to work part that can be slightly tricky at times 🙂
