For day 13, write a “how to (blank)” poem.

HOW TO BUILD A BOOKCASE

Some assembly required.

Some tools will be needed.

Some you will have. Some you won’t.

Some directions will be in small type.

You’ll need a magnifying glass

To read them. And after, you’ll

Still have no idea what they mean.

Some screws will be lost.

Some aspirin will be taken.

Some pieces will be left over,

They look important, but

You can’t figure out

Where or why they belong.

Some shelves will slant

Someone will notice.

And some trash pick-up day,

You’ll place the bookcase at the curb.

Then, somewhere find a store

That offers one already assembled.
