Life is like purchasing a chair from IKEA
One you must assemble yourself
Carefully open the box
Thousands of tiny parts tumble out
You scan the scattered segments.
But the most vital component is lost-
The instructions!
You resort to the risk of building it rouge
Dinner, a shower, the Office reruns can wait
3 hours whiz by and you’ve managed to
Hammer a measly nail or two
You sink in the sea of segments and screws
Until you tentatively peek in your box
The precious papers
Give a golden glow in your grasp
Happiness settles in your heart
Until you read the instructions…
But you can’t…
Because they are written in German
