A secondary power supply
Had gone kaput; it simply died
And even though we looked around
No spare backup could be found
But lo! There was one left on Earth
And happened to be in Ft. Worth.
Hoping to keep the switch alive,
They loaded it up and made the drive
But security did not answer the buzz
And two HP employees, fearing the fuzz
And going against their common sense
Grabbed the good supply and jumped the fence
(But then we quickly redeemed the sin
And got security to sign them in
And anyone can take a look
At those two names in last night’s book)
So, a few minutes after midnight
We discovered something not quite right
A little engineering bug:
The new supply had the wrong plug.
No fear, before things got too shaggy
We applied our mechanical savvy
With allen wrench and a screwdriver
We swapped the plug to the survivor
Once finished, with its brand new parts
(and all of us fearing some sparks)
We seated it next to its twin,
Crossed our fingers, and plugged it in.
A cheery glow and gentle hum
Let us know that the task was done.
The ticket was moved to a resolved state
On Thursday morning, at one twenty-eight.
