I've put a lot of it together over the years Tables, cupboards, display cabinets Not been a problem IKEA specials Get them home and a few hours later A work of art Until this last week I work part time as the handyman in a large office complex Got a call "can you come in for a few hours" Not a problem!!!! Can you assemble those desks Those cupboards Those six foot storage units Easy, done this so many times before Opened the boxes All the instructions were in French Trying to follow line drawings Cam locks, cam spindles, nuts, bolts, screws Honor was on the line Failure not an option 11 million pieces later and all was complete And 755 pounds going into my bank account It wasn't 11 million pieces but it sure felt like it

Never did figure out where all the left over screws etc should have gone
