When Cloudflare Fell from the Sky

The web awoke with a startled frown,
When mighty Cloudflare tumbled down.
Packets panicked, routes astray,
DNS forgot the way.

Sites once strong began to crawl,
E-commerce dreams began to fall.
Devs refreshed with trembling hand,
Staring at logs they can’t quite stand.

Status pages burned so bright,
“Investigating” lit up the night.
Slack was chaos, Twitter screamed,
“Is it me?” each mortal deemed.

But soon the pipes began to clear,
The net resumed its normal cheer.
A thousand tabs refreshed as one —
The outage over, peace begun.

Yet whispered still in data halls:
“Remember, uptime humbles all.”
