I went to the new IKEA yesterday.  Wow.  And now a poem.

Big and Yellow and Blue                                                            
So Brand NEW!
Bursting at the seams with furniture and accessories galore
Give me More!

Kids are jumping on couches and beds
Racing Ahead
Everything we want to see
Until Sugar announces she has to pee

Why is the bathroom so far away?
Why are there so many toilets on display?

The peeing is done, we want off our feet
SO now we eat!
Yet for squrmy kids this is just not a good time
to stand in a line. 

Engineer squawks at kid up ahead
Kid’s mother gives ME a look like I should be dead
Now she’s overprotecting her son
But Engineer was just having fun!

Awkward.

Swedish meatballs fill my plate
I can tell this will be great
Kids are happy until once again
They start to fight and then offend
another mother, can’t we be friends?

Charming’s ready to grab his coat,
But I won’t leave IKEA on such a sour note.
Let’s see some more, my honeydew
And we will purchase before we’re through

Shopping bag full heading out the door
Wanting more, so wanting more
But I am the only one
Since Charming and kids are clearly done. 

And so back to our home we go
When we’ll come again, we don’t know
As we drive down IKEA WAY
I think to myself, WHAT A DAY!
