They make can-openers that go around by themselves. They make curtain rods that do not require hardware. Everywhere we look, there are things on store shelves To make our lives easier, but buyer beware!
Every one of these whatchamacalls and thingamajigs. Arrive in plastic tougher than an airline black box... Takes scissors, hammer, axe, and a mechanical whiz To start to pry it off. Can't break it with a rock!.
Time you get through, you've busted the thing. All your fingers are sore, all your nails long gone. Squinted so hard, your eyes and lids sting. Voice went that-away from screaming so long.
Want to make our lives easier? May I suggest That if you invent bells, whistles, and gimcracks, You do not allow them to be used as tests to see what wrapping will drive us ape-er,ah-bats!!

Okay, I'm laughing, but only because I can relate, ha, ha, ho, ho! It is enough to make decent people go stark raving mad just to open the thing. Cute write, love the humor...
Man you've got it, and said it, and you passed it on, man I can relate, you are making me mad now, I can't stands this, who needs this stop it will ya! May the Halloween Fairy protect you from a pumkin like that. Absolutely great write! Bless ya! Jasmin Horst

I think the people who come up with the wraps you speak of are evil people and should be hunted down and put in chains in the deepest, dankest, blackest dungeon they can find.
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
Amazon reviewer
The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.

To start to pry it off. Can't break it with a rock!.
Ain't that the truth - and yet more truly horrible rock hard plastic to pollute our landfills, too.
Add trying to get dog's meds out of plastic when pill itself is chewable.......might as well hand Preshus the whole thing and let her do it!
