Screwed

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.
