I lacked a poem subject
So I visited IKEA
So I could flat pack purchase
A flat packed verse idea
That they claim is quick assembly
As it comes with an assembly key
And a line drawn set of drawings
That the words accompany
So I purchased a packed flatpack
That I unpacked in my flat
To inspect the unpacked contents
And instruction book combat
That although simply written
Provoked anxiety
As the words and drawings did not match
They seemed to disagree
Even though they were arranged
Into verses so they rhymed
The actual meaning in them
Was not clearly defined
So I un-unpacked my flat pack
And returning to IKEA
I complained it is impossible
To assemble their idea
As all the steps do is allude
To assembly
And although nicely written
Make not a jot of sense to me
But all they did was smile
And money back decline
As to their understanding
The idea sold was fine
As they said that like their product
Poems meanings are unclear
And the buyer is the one
Who should interpret the idea
But all I could interpret
Was their refund guarantee
So I took the cash they offered
And gave up poetry
