The web.config of Staging

Hello Buildmaster, my old friend 
I've come to talk with you again 
Because an updated connection string
Changed its config while I was sleeping 
And the instance that was replaced by the DBAs 
Still remains 
Within the web.config of Staging 

In restless dreams I coded alone 
Narrow services of Cornerstone 
'Neath the Halo of a street lamp 
I turn my editor to the <b>old and &amp;
When my Chrome was tabbed and Flash was rash
That split the XPATH 
And touched the web.config of Staging

And in the naked light I saw 
Ten thousand tickets maybe more 
People talking without speaking 
People hearing without listening 
People closing tickets that ServiceNow never shared 
No one dared 
Disturb the web.config of Staging 

"BFFs," said I, "you do not know 
Staging like a cancer grows 
Read my ticket that I might teach you 
Read my ticket that I might reach you" 
But my words like silent Nerf darts fell 
And echoed in the web.config of Staging 

And the people bowed and prayed 
To the CM-INSTALLWEB they made 
And the Jenkins flashed out its warning 
In the deploy that it was forming 
And the email said "The environment indicator needs updating
So the website will stop crashing
Please change the web.config of Staging
