Assembly Required

Two flat-pack boxes
Hold a variety of parts
The instructions show a cartoon man,
With not a lot of smarts.

Is it this piece?  or that one?
These illustrations are not clear.
Okay, we have one screw in,
This should take about a year.

The outside is assembled!
Time to take a break.
This might be more easy
If the kids were not awake.

The two-year-old is "helping".
No!  Don't eat that screw!
We probably will need it
Around step forty-two.

Let's get these drawers together,
It's naptime, let's not dawdle.
Whose idea was it anyway,
To get the six drawer model?

Finally!  A new dresser!
To store clothes to wear.
We show it to the eight-month-old.
Yeah, he doesn't care.
