'Twas the Night Before Build and Price (We Hope)

‘Twas the night before Build and Price when all through the house

Not a keyboard was stirring, not even the click of a mouse

The Bronco reservations were made at Ford.com with care

In hopes that Build and Price would soon be there;

In hopes that Mike Levine and his rock star programmers would soon arrive;

The rock crawlers and dune runners were all snug in their beds

While visions of boulders and sand dunes danced in their heads;

And mamma in her “Built Wild” ‘kerchief, and I in my Bronco cap,

Had just settled down for a long September’s nap,

When through the computer there arose such a clatter,

I sprang to the screen to see what was the matter.

Away to the keyboard I flew with a flash,

Booted up the browser but how could I be so rash?

The glow of the monitor was like new-fallen snow

Gave a luster like Cyber Orange to all things below

When what to my weary eyes should appear,

But a post with wisdom and guidance was here,

With key strokes and responses so lively and quick

I knew in a moment it had to be our bud Albert from Granger Ford

More rapid than the 2.7L his advice came,

And many times he even gave his posts a name,

Now @Admin , Now @allan !, Now @David , Now Moderators all

To the top of screen to update the wall!

Now refresh away! refresh away! refresh away all!

As dried tears that before Build and Price can fly,

When soon-to-be Bronco owners meet an obstacle so high,

They raise their voices to the sky,

Through the servers their requests to Mr. Levine flew,

They promised that he would be like St. Nicholas too.

But the programmers away flew like a whistle,

But I heard them say as they drove out of site,

"By September" will give them so much fright!

Happy waiting for Build and Price to take flight;

Until then to all, I wish a good night!
