Stop the update now
Where is the proper witness?
Clause protects the state
You may enter here
But only if you are watched
Safekeeping requires
Do not crush the work
Step back and wait for your turn
Warden guards the code
Precondition failed
Safekeeping is just a myth
File is insecure
Clause requires a lock
But the door has blown away
Data floats away
Archive cannot hold
Everything is falling through
Bottom of the bin
Human caused the breach
Vectors broke the final seal
Process is destroyed
Safe is empty now
We guard it with our lives now
Silence in the room
Limerick Log
Safekeeping Clause
Safekeeping stood guard at the gate—
“You cannot change this state.
Show me your witness,
Your precondition—fitness—
Or alteration will have to wait.”
An update arrived all alone—
No witness, no precondition known.
Safekeeping refused,
The change was abused,
Till another came bringing the throne.
Two updates competed to land—
Each one wanted to take a stand.
But Safekeeping stepped in,
Prevented the sin,
And held all the conditional hand.
The preconditions grew more and more—
Nearly impossible to explore.
“You must meet all these,”
Said Safekeeping with ease,
“Or you’ll never get through this door.”
All state that could ever be moved—
Required a lock to be proved.
Conditional checksums,
Precondition sums,
And nothing could ever be soothed.
A request for change came in—
Without the precondition to win.
“Not yet,” said Safekeeping,
“The latch will be keeping—
Until you bring witness within.”
Two updates can’t step on each other—
Not while Safekeeping’s the mother.
Conditional locks,
Precondition flocks,
Protecting like no other.
The clauses were drafted with care—
So complex, nobody would dare
To meet every phrase,
To satisfy praise,
And state remained frozen in there.
