Flat pack hell

Daniel

In my head I had it sorted
There was no need for plan B
I opened the box to get started
But only chaos could I see

The instructions offered no clue
Written by some sadistic fiend
Who takes joy in others blues
As my words grow more obscene

So I google it with foolish hope
That this mystery has been solved
But I can't find a single post
So my patience starts to fold

After many hours and some luck
It starts to take a familiar shape
To find its missing screws and nuts
My will once strong starts to break

So next time I buy furniture online
I will select ones that need no assembly
My sanity will never again be risked
All for the sake of a flat pack settee

              Great idea for a poem. We have all been there. And real men don't read the instructions.
