Pine Effect Wardrobe by Ed Rackstraw
 

Pine-effect wardrobe
Your time’s at an end
And saying goodbye
Is like leaving a friend

I’ve put you together
Like all the king’s men
And split you asunder
Again and again

It's no small wonder
Your pieces don’t fit
And that prospective owners
Described you as "shit"

There’s a lump in my throat
And a hair in the gate
Met the man at the tip who said
"Not that skip mate!"

I drove away blinking
And blamed it on dust
But I felt I’d betrayed
Your pine-effect trust
