Screwed
Must put on
my thinking cap,
Getting in a
proper flap!
Just want it
unwrapped;
In there it’s
trapped!
It’s my bad
luck
And going to
chuck
In the
garbage truck
If it doesn’t
come unstuck!
Tugged it,
lugged it
Clenched it,
wrenched it,
Sworn at it –
torn at it!
Heaved it,
peeved about it.
I’ve tried
talking to it,
Walking on it,
Squawking at
it
Now gawking
at it.
Am sweating! Panting!
Around the
room I’m chanting!
The scissors
won’t cut -
It’s just
closed shut!
Groaning
about it
Moaning about
it
Wish I’d
known about it
I would have
disowned it.
Palpitating,
exasperating,
It’s got so
very agitating!
Am rapidly
ageing.
Need to keep
concentrating.
Tried
everything in fine detail
Resorted to
blackmail!
Hours on end
and no avail;
Sending it
back in the mail!
This is just
so frustrating!
I’ve tried
delegating;
This thing
needs liberating!
This pack
containing
Things I need
– I do indeed!
Need to
concede!
I’ve been
mislead
Or just
misread
How to undo
This Shrink
wrap spew;
Worse than
superglue.
Think I’m
screwed.
