Deconstruction

Bought a lovely old wardrobe
Second hand; from Gumtree
We picked it up; took it home
Thought we had it made...
From a lovely couple down the road
Hubby was a "Ten Pound Pom"
Parents brought it over from the UK
Just right; sturdy; well made...
Problem was...
Only a small room to be had
Thought we'd got it made...
Measured up the last cupboard
It was way too big; not right 
Wouldn't fit; space too tight
Had to toss it out...
This one was much smaller
But though we tried and tried
Just could not make the grade...
After much struggling; cursing too
We just couldn't get it through...
Thought of sawing it in half...
Chopping it up with a massive axe...
Until we opened up the door
Wondering if we could
Deconstruct it...
What a blessed revelation!
After feeling so absolutely dismayed
I had simply prayed and prayed...
Inside the top; and at the bottom too
Brass locking mechanisms...
A flat-head screwdriver
All that we would need...
The top was then removed
Screws all along the back
Then those we unscrewed
All those bits and pieces
Laying across the lounge room floor
Finally; we'd be able; to get it in that door!
Back and forth we carried
Deconstruction...
Then reconstruction our chore...
Then at last; we were finally able
To put it back together again
After 5 hours of struggle
That wardrobe was complete
Once more!!!!

Found a little treasure
An old English coin
20 Pence from 1983
Sitting in one of the drawers...
