Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, I searched for the tools to hand to my spouse. Instructions were studied and we were inspired, in hopes we could manage "some assembly required". The children were quiet ,not asleep in their bed, While Dad and I faced the evening with dread. A kitchen ,2 bikes,Barbie's town house to boot, and thanks to grandpa, a train with a toot ! We opened the boxes, my heart skipped a beat, let no parts be missing or parts incomplete. Too late for last minute returns or replacement, if we cant get it right,it goes in the basement! When what to worrying eyes should appear, but 50 sheets of directions, concise but not clear. With each part numbered and every slot named, so if we failed, only we could be blamed. More rapid than eagles, the parts did fall out, all over the carpet they scattered about. Now bolt it! Now twist it! Attach it right there ! Slide on the seats and staple the stair. Hammer the shelves and nail to the stand, "Honey" said hubby "you just glued my hand". And then in a twinkling I knew for a fact, That all the toy dealers had indeed made a pact! To keep parents busy all Christmas night, with assembly required `til mornings first light. We spoke not a word but kept bent to our work, `Til our eyes they went bleary,our fingers all hurt. The coffee went cold and the night it wore thin, Before we attached the last rod and pin. Then laying the tools away in the chest, We fell into bed for a well deserved rest. But I said to my husband just before we passed out, "This will be the best Christmas with out any doubt". Tomorrow we`ll cheer, let the holiday ring, And not have to run to the store for a thing. We did it ! We did it! the toys are all set, For the perfect, most perfect, Christmas, I bet. Then off to dreamland and sweet repose I gratefully went, Though I suppose there`s something to say for those self-deluded.... I`d forgotten that BATTERIES are never included !!!!!! |
