Close inspection of placed materials does reveal

Not all was as it should have been along seals

Saved changes were exact and accurate jumps

But things passed up were still down in the dumps



And sequences which seemed accurate at this end

Were not so where public eyes welcomed blends

And so dead-ended circuits brought flow to stop

As uncompleted links had created a minor flop



And a red-faced designer was left staring at mess

Which looped in circles with some kind of distress

How this came to be is not at all clear on this day

But what is clear is chopped links showed no way



Through the maze from one end all the way to other

For dead-ends stopped passage and kept all covers

From sliding off to reveal all the hidden beauty under

So quick repairs had to be made to share the thunder
