Here’s… Johan!


While reading a book in midwinter,
Alone in the meadows that weave
Their rich and English tapestry
I felt a tugging at my sleeve.

My little daughter, Alice,
Was urging me to go
And meet the man who stood at the door,
So I went and said, “Hello?”

“Hello,” he said and smiled at me
And Alice smiled at him.
”I’m calling from IKEA,” he said,
“To assemble your homemade gym.”

Well, everyone knows IKEA,
The Swedish furniture mart,
That sell you things you put together
Which promptly fall apart.

“I didn’t order a gym,” I said,
“I know,” the man replied.
“But I have to use your lavatory
“So kindly step aside.”

He ran upstairs with frightful speed
And then we heard the chain
And then he called out, “I love your lav!
“I must come here again.”
