The New Bookcase
We ordered a bookcase.
It came in a box.
To put it together,
We had to outfox
Supposed instructions –
All pics, not a word.
Yet we carried on –
We would not be deterred!
We had the right tools,
All the nails, all the screws
And with plenty of time
We had nothing to lose.
We made some mistakes
But they all got repaired
And there wasn’t a minute
We really despaired.
At last it was finished
And now it is filled.
It looks better than great
And nobody got killed!
