'Twas the night before 0.22...

[Tw1]

Context: This was inspired after the game developer took the unusual step of announcing the version .22 release date one day early.

Seeing as we know what's coming, I decided to ripoff write a nice poem.

Enjoy!

'Twas the night before 0.22, and across the inter-net,

Many creatures were stirring, with keyboard and mice.

The router was checked, by the desktop with care,

In hopes that St. Jeb, soon would be there.

The kerbals were nestled, all snug in their saves,

While visions of SCIENCE! danced in their large heads.

And mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap,

Closed down our computers for a short summer's nap.

When out on the street, there was such a loud clatter,

I got up again to see what was the matter.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a big shiny lander, with long landing gear.

When the pilot jumped out, and bounced on his head,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Jeb.

"Hey Bill, Hey Bob! We're in the wrong spot!

"Engines on, legs up, we need to lift of!"

"To the top of the porch! to the top of the roof!"

"Above the modem, that's where we should stop!"

And then, in a second, I heard on the roof,

The thump and the crash, of the lander's big legs.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney, came Jeb in a fiery cloud.

His eyes were so bulbous! his skin so green!

His head like a coke can, his neck, seemed thin.

His very big mouth, was a wild, crazy grin,

And the space suit he wore, looked tailored for him.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

Updated the program, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

With a huge fiery blast, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his ship, to his team gave a whistle,

And they all flew away, like an unguided missile.

But I heard him exclaim, as he faded from sight,

"Have fun with 0.22, and to all a good night!"

Nice one! It nearly made me go to bed.

With apologies to Dr Seuss..

There's a Jeb going to bed and the bed of a Jeb. Is the boomiest bed in the world it is said. He makes it from SRBs he builds in his shed...
