Very Nice!  I actually wrote to Lego about this.  I want to give Chewbacca
some height... they wrote back and said wookies can get in trouble for
heightening.  Who knew?

I'm missing a key piece,
perhaps you relate.
It's just a small piece,
a 1x1 brown plate.

My mountains have paths,
that could be of wood.
My chalets have brown walls,
Or - well - they SHOULD!

My huge bins of plates,
they have no small browns.
I dig through my "sort pile".
But nope.  I frown.

I search through my basement.
I look fast and mean.
The Statue of Liberty's great.
But too green.

Yoda's all earthtone,
and yields just tan plates.
Harry Potter's magic fails.
There's brown - but it's grates!

I search all around.
I stop and I think.
I turn to The Resource,
the almighty Bricklink.

But Bricklink yields nothing,
It looks like I'm stuck.
So I check parts at Peeron.
Hey I may be in luck!

It seems that there's one set,
one set that has brown.
Oh no. It's Darth Maul's bust.
Man, am I down.

Oh LEGO, Oh LEGO,
Why do this to us?
It's such a small part!
This is so unjust.

I sigh to myself.
I know what to do.
I grab my swiss knife.
And a brown ... one by two.
