Build me up

Ode to the multi-colored brick

Comes in different colors, different size, different shape

One by one,Forty-eight by forty-eight.

Build a tree, a house, a car.

Build a city, a spaceship, a world.

Fun for a boy, and fun for a girl.

Little bits go missing,

Find them in your heel late at night

Miscount and have to start again,

To build a set so it looks just right.

Limited by your imagination,

But your budget limits you too!

Classic sets bring joy,

As much as a set that’s new.

Baby Grogu holds a shiny ball,

Double-0 seven’s car makes you swoon,

Roller coasters that loop the loop,

And a set to remember landing on the moon.

Late night builds drive others mad,

So marry someone who loves bricks as well.

Display them if you have the space

Or build them once and then re-sell!

No longer just for kids

Now we have AFOLs too

We hear the chant, it’s super loud.

LEGO, LEGO, we love you!
