Sunday Shelf Adventures

It all started as your typical Sunday

Then my wife looked like she had something to say

“I have some shelves I want to hang”

But really, I knew I had to do the damn thang

I even got my level to make sure it was straight

And wandered upstairs to meet my fate

Why can't I find a single damn stud?

Whatever, as long as we finish with no blood

The first screw went in with ease

Hell, this might actually be a breeze

HA! You watch your big mouth

That’s when it all went south

We have to use an anchor to make sure it’s strong

The piece of shit snapped halfway in, where did I go wrong?

We’ll just hammer it into the wall

I pray to God this damn thing doesn’t fall

There’s no going back now, we have to get it done

We’ll cover that hole up too, now it’s getting fun

The damn design hardly leaves any space

Electric drill won’t fit, guess this isn’t a race

The regular ol screw driver will have to do

Holy shit my arms are sore, how many more to screw?

“Only takes minutes, and easy to install”

Bullshit you liars! I’m about to punch the wall!

Maybe I’m just not that great of a handyman 

At this point, I’m just ready for a beer can

Well, well, well would you looky there?

Finally finished, a breath of fresh air

Hopefully we will have a little luck

Cause if this thing falls, we’re fucked

Sort:  

😂😂😂

Hopefully your wife found this as funny as we do...

I let her read it and she definitely enjoyed it. Haha. She was with me helping when she could and knew the struggle was real 😂

Another solid poem...very relatable as I sit here looking at the floating shelf my wife made me build because she saw how “easy” it was on Pinterest...

Thank ya sir! Hahaha, Pinterest might be the absolute worst thing to ever happen to husbands

Any “excuse” I mean reason to have a beer is a good reason! ;)

haha, you right. And this was definitely a good reason

Hahaha, that's a good one! Did you show it to your wife? ;-)

Thanks! haha, I did, she thoroughly enjoyed it!

She better after the hard work you put into it, haha!

Oh, I made sure of it, haha

😂 like what the hell is the steady part supposed to mean?

So the shelf stays level well you screw it in lol.

Pretty sweet poem dude. I laughed my ass off here. It was well written and hilarious. I take it, it was a true story :)

Hahaha, I guess his spam comments actually made more sense on my post.

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! But yea, all true, maybe slightly more dramatic. Was definitely a pain in the ass though, haha.

I just saw his exact same comment on my post lol flagged him
