Ikea Vs Me

It came with 10 pages of instructions It came with all its own tools But it had its own agenda To make me out to be a fool I laid the parts out carefully They covered my floor from wall to wall I sat and looked bewildered at the task before me I had no idea where to start at all But then i became downright determined No box of parts would get the best of me I dove in and began to assemble After all im highly intelligent you see. These parts seemed to have a mind of their own For not one connection seemed to fit I even flipped the instructons upside down But they were having none of it. It was twenty hours later I was staring at my finished work with pride But alas Ikea got the last laugh The porch swing wouldnt fit through the door outside.

Lol... I did this once, but it wasn't a porch swing. It was a jumbo gym... I had to take it apart to put it in the back yard...but in the mean time, we had fun inside. Great read... Love it... Linda
