Assembly

When I was young, each Friday Was Assembly day at school. We wore white shirts and navy skirts; Red ties made us look cool. We pledged allegiance, sang the song And did as we were told. Who knew “assembly” would be Something bad when I got old? I ordered a TV stand; For “Assembly?” I checked “no,” Believing we could do it, but Once here, we both said, “Whoa!” I contacted the company And yes, it’s not too late. I’ll hear from their assembly team To thus arrange a date. They charged my card but now I wait; There seems to be a glitch. The wooden parts, unpacked, are stacked; The sight just makes me twitch. Assembly once had rules I knew And followed to a T. Today no special outfit Would give any help to me.
