Assembly Required

The unit came in boxes.
Assembly was required;
And after hours and hours of work,
I’m more than slightly tired.

The day was filled with tension,
Our voices raised, of course;
And couples not as solid
Might be headed for divorce.

The TV stand is finished.
I’m so proud that I could burst;
But next time screws and tools are needed,
Someone shoot me first!

Oh My! :) I soooo relate. A task at hand can sooo berate. Desired goals we think are slight. Can tear us down and keep us up at night.
