Not long ago I bought a shower chair -
(My feet move away but I won’t let them go;
They require attention to stave off wear,
I use the chair to reach them, every toe.)
Surprise! The chair arrives as a flat pack;
And so extraction from its cardboard box
Takes half an hour; I’ve no tools, no knack…
Yet more fun to come - a further approx
Twenty minutes to locate a missing screw.
Instructions assume I’m illiterate -
Diagrams only. Decision by who?
Three hours later I’d like to tell them straight….
……. But I’ll spare you the ugly detail – this ends now.
(Warm shower needed after – and not just to check the chair. Sticking plasters found at back of bottom sink drawer.)
…..And I still must get rid of the cardboard…
