Made In Heaven

In about a million years or so gone by
When I was an apprentice for the big man in the sky
Got promoted to production on the man assembly line
But I got no instruction re the ultimate design

While my Lord made woman with her lady glamour glitz
He made them soft and streamlined with so many tempting bits
But I just kinda struggled with my man assembly kits
I really couldn't figure out where each component fits

But every now and then the boss would come along
And never failed to tell me if I'd got the details wrong
One day he shook his head because the shoulders were too wide
And he chuckled cos I'd left the plumbing on the outside

My master gave me praise for assembling the feet
For ten toes placed, five on each side, he thought was rather neat
The head was where it ought to be complete with ears and face
And apart from those few dangly bits not much was out of place

The only problem was I had just one component left
Couldn't find a place for it which left me quite bereft
My boss then dropped the bombshell that this was all a test
I've fitted nearly all parts but had to use the rest

So it seemed to me that failure was to be my certain fate
The last container's label read one human male prostate
I had a massive problem if my test I was to pass
And so I checked the manual...
Ahhhh!
