Every time someone mentions refactoring code,
My stomach churns like a washing machine mode.
It's like cleaning out my closet or tidying up my bed,
Except it's a million times worse, or so I've said.
"Why bother?" I whine, "It'll just be a mess again,
Like a tornado just swept through and left a big stain."
But deep down, I know it's the right thing to do,
And that's why I'll grudgingly say, "Okay, fine, I'll do."
So I roll up my sleeves, and dive right in,
And feel like a frog, trying to swallow a gin.
The code is a mess, and it's in need of some love,
So I get to work, like a diligent beaver, I shove.
I tackle the easy parts first, with a grin,
Like picking up the garbage, left in the bin.
Then comes the hard stuff, and that's when I sweat,
Like a contestant on a game show, feeling the regret.
But I'm determined to make it all better,
To improve our code, make it faster, and wetter.
I'll streamline our functions, cut the bloat,
Optimize our algorithms, and give them a coat.
And when it's all done, and the code runs like a dream,
I'll do a victory dance, like a ballerina queen.
I may not get the recognition I deserve,
But I know I'm the one who preserves.
I preserve the quality of our software,
And keep our users happy, without a care.
I preserve the integrity of our code,
And make it easy for anyone to decode.
So here's to all the developers, big and small,
Who refactor their code, and give it their all.
You may not get the recognition you deserve,
But you're the ones who preserve!
