Ode to Data: The Fickle Friend

Oh, Data, you elusive beast,
You promise insights, to say the least.
With rows and columns all in line,
Yet you break my code every time.

You whisper secrets, hidden deep,
But in a sea of nulls, I weep.
Missing values, outliers too,
Why must you make me feel so blue?

From SQL queries to Python scripts,
I dig for answers in endless blips.
“Syntax error,” you say with glee,
Why can’t you ever just work with me?

But when you finally bend to will,
And patterns emerge, I get a thrill.
Correlations, insights, trends that gleam,
Suddenly, you’re a data dream.

You help us track the planet’s health,
Or forecast stocks to build our wealth.
You map the stars, decode the brain,
You turn confusion into gain.

Yet still, dear Data, you’re no saint,
You cause frustration, that I’ll paint.
But through the chaos, one thing’s clear,
Your power’s what we hold most dear.

So here’s to you, our tricky friend,
On you, our hopes and dreams depend.
Though you make us curse and sigh,
You’re the reason we reach for the sky.
