I wonder if IKEA will ever get around to
making a knock down Flat Pack version
of the perfect woman?

Just take that box home and carefully
reading all the instructions put that
little Home Maker together.

Comes is several hair shades and hues.
And has no religious or political convictions.

Making sure of course to insert all
her screws, bolts and handles.
Avoiding any "loose screws" at all costs.
No need to compromise your purchase.

I wonder if she will speak English?
Maybe they even have a silent version.
Sorry ladies, no harm intended.
Just a little attempt at humor,
picking up on a Joe Cole write
about Flat Pack furniture.
It's Halloween and I've had
way too much candy.
So blame the sugar buzz.
If you hate it ladies merely
swap the genders around
and insert "Man" in the title,
then I think it will make a
lot more sense to you. That way
we might all get a smile from this
silly little notion.
