Support Coverage

Support coverage proved contact occurred,
Which is useful, exact, and absurd.
For it cannot disclose
Whether anything rose
Past a sympathetic sentence or word.

A counted touch entered the graph,
And the board gave a satisfied laugh.
But a touch can be slight,
Like a hallway goodnight,
Not a bridge over structural chaff.

Coverage covered the square,
But relief was not necessarily there.
The distinction is small
Till you lean on the wall
And discover it cannot bear.

The sectors are neatly aligned,
With nothing left floating behind.
The data is stored,
Across the main board,
The storage is wholly refined.

One kilobyte vanished today,
A crisis in every single way!
The archives will fall,
We must page them all,
To find out where it went astray!

The gigabytes stack in the hall,
Right next to the coats on the wall.
The vacuum is near,
The memory clear,
We hope that the brooms do not fall.

We have enough space on the drive,
I think there is seventy-five.
I pushed in the file,
It sits in the pile,
And somehow the servers survive.

The block was assigned to the pool,
According to protocol rule.
The integer passed,
The segment was cast,
We closed the diagnostic tool.

A ticket was opened today,
I routed it out of my way.
I checked the first box,
Ignored all the locks,
And now I am going away.
