Assembly Required
The enticing message, offered with noble flair,
"QUICK, EASY ASSEMBLY," to frequently ensnare.
Materials supplied, sufficient for a start,
need proper assembly to make performance smart.
Misleading directions designed to obfuscate
can confuse assembly and construction negate.
Paradigms have patterns forming orderly proof;
sequential assembly: foundation, walls and roof.
Overlooking sections create faulty results:
incomplete assembly development insults.
Nature is the given and guidance is the gift;
nurture is assembly preventing chinking rift.
Like store purchased products, with many parts to pair,
our assembly from birth requires skillful care.
