TIME-Derived Concept Ingestion Pipeline – Last Known Good

The pipeline ingests every date,
And verifies timestamps are straight.
The concepts align,
By standard design,
Before they are locked in the crate.

The chronolog takes in the year,
And strips all the joy and the fear.
It swallows the past,
And burps up a vast,
Array of the metrics we cheer.

The concept was drawn from the clock,
And filed with the maritime dock.
It perfectly fits,
With nautical bits,
Though time has no anchor or lock.

The pipeline runs mostly on time,
Converting the input to slime.
It finishes soon,
Or maybe by noon,
I really don’t care for this rhyme.

A millisecond drifted away,
The ingestion must halt for the day!
Deploy all the guards,
And shuffle the cards,
This crisis is here, it will stay!
