APT Cycle
by BK

When there’s a new APT,
In our minds we can see
Only green and not red.
“It’ll be easy,” we said.

But in our rooms at night,
Though multiple codes we write,
It’s not green that is seen
But red, bright and mean.

If it’s not very easy,
We feel quite uneasy.
To Piazza we go,
Python Tutor, also.

It takes time, it takes knowledge,
(as most things do in college)
But eventually we get there,
“It’s all green!” we share.

We jump and we shout,
It’s time to freak out.
Success has been found
It’s like we’ve been crowned!

There’s no other feeling,
The website revealing:
“You’re finished for now,
You always complete it somehow.”

But don’t rejoice quite yet,
For next week I bet,
You’ll be back at line one,
Another APT, what fun!
