# Ode to Swift

Our users have a need although  
Our budget's rather ...  
     Thrifty—  
Not just, "I want my data," but  
"I want my data  
     Swiftly."  
But should their need our budget meet  
I'd think it not an oddity,  
In an age of open source in which  
The hardware's a commodity.  
The right solution's quick to get,  
No need to hunt or forage;  
We'll see our users' needs are met  
With open object storage.
