Some Assembly Required

Some Assembly Required By Elton Camp If a product has these words, better stay away Unless you want to toil on it at least half a day Pages of instructions the maker will provide And a list of parts that are said to be inside Expect the tiny print to be impossible to read There will never be all of the parts you need And the wording will be ignorant and crude Due to having been written by a foreign dude If to sell to the American market they aspire You’d think a good translator they’d hire There will be unfamiliar terms and complexity “Insert dowel A into the crescent arch at three” To purchase a complete product I much rather And so I never buy one I must put together
