Frontier Living
Take this saw and axe we have to clear the land.
What, you mean the heavy machinery got here first,
the concrete is setting as we speak!
Can I borrow your flat-headed screwdriver?
Ikea have half-made another thing again,
I will make a skillet full of low-sodium bacon
if you help me put it together.
You say the wilderness has returned
and there is a shortage of oxen and wagons.
The frontier begins at the back of Walmart now
where the natives take their lunch-break.
Amazon have sent the wrong log cabin again.
We can make a camp in the wild woods
behind the small industrial unit.
By the way do you have a shovel and ladder
to get us all out of here?
