While I ponder, weak and weary from mowing tall grass yards grown a day or two
or more,
I fumble in, a tired ghost of who I was before, to see my dusty array of bricks
all in store
With dust and age gathered as a funeral procession there to morn
And I wonder, scratch my chin and wonder, when will I turn again to my sessions
of mason,
When will I re-ignite my passion and but brick to brick to my own eyes' glor'
For there, often on the floor, spread as a sumptuous feast, would lie my Lego
and more,
My BTR and Oxford and 'nicle bought half price or less at the store,
Alas, alas, tis long time since gaped a BTR, to the torment of my soul poor.
Well I remember deep discounts all around and scrounged here and there to amass
my wealth, but then, too much was held at too little and I alight upon the
spirited idea in my brain that never again seen shall be the shadow of BTR as
though dust on my floor,
Lost and gone and never more, lost and gone and too poor for no profit is said,
no profit made from discounts galore.
Wretch, crieth I, your greed hath undone you and many more. Waited to buy
Megatron and others at the store when pennies you would pay, and BTR could not
stay.
Heathen, Wretch, crieth I, and collapse upon the floor in my own grief, for my
actions as a thief.
And now, when the thief hungers, longs to see his brick monger with BTR and
promised new sets, his soul starves and upon Lugnet he raves:
Where, oh where? Have not I waited, long unsated, and yet failed me and there
sorted will be the last of BTR as I cry upon the dank dusk of my floor, and to
my yearning ears I wish not to hear the dark form speak:
BTR, will be nevermore.
Whew. Has anybody heard any news about BTR? Those promised new sets are taking a
long time to reach the stores, if they will reach the stores at all.

| (...) You may talk of Built-To-Rule ‘Cause the sets are really cool, But you haven’t seen a new one for a while. If you miss the parts and colors You can only hoot and hollar That, at best, you might peruse the clearance aisle. They seemed destined (...)
