Bloody Ikea
By Stephanie Sideways
That bloody Ikea, someone ought to be shot
for designing their plugs so they stick out a lot
Why should they make them fit so close to the wall?
That's over pragmatic, no challenge at all
In theory their lighting is ever so classy
but when they're unpacked, the damn things make me arsey
My non Swedish table that stood by my bed
It's been moved some where much less useful instead
The years pass me by and my decor gets tired
So I sift their free brochure and get all inspired
And then I go back to be tempted again
For by then I've forgotten their plugs are a pain
As a company famed for space saving ideas
They're good but just don't get your lights from ikea
I hope for their plugs there's a job on the line
Recruit someone with half a brain the next time.

Shoddy plugs = my peoples (the swedes) way of hiding our nazi-like efficiency. Frukta den svensk! I enjoyed this:)

You can buy some multi-outlet right angle adapters, but I do know what you mean.My mom just bought a recliner and the flimsy plug won't hardly stay in the receptacle (which is not worn out). OH - you can also buy a right angle plug, or extension cord too! Cheers Stephy (that's 20 quid for the service call)!
