Testing is for You
To the curious, who want to know more
That are not, afraid to explore
That knock, on every closed door
Testing is for you
To the one who won’t buy what’s sold
The one, who questions what you’re told
There are no silly questions
But ones that strike gold
Testing is for you
To the frustrated, who don’t know why
It’s so hard, to try and try
To use things, who just want to buy
Testing is for you
To those, where tech gets in the way
To those who have lots to say
Bad design means they won’t stay
Testing is for you
To she and her, he and him
They and them, all welcomed in
The more diverse the more we win
Testing is for you
To those who don’t know what to do
A bright career can still come true
Everyone here, is here, for you
Testing is for you
To the geek, the nerd, the shy ones too
An inclusive community waits for you
You’ll feel loved, and welcomed. I know I do
Testing is for you
