New Thing - The Box

My new thing today was to write a poem about a box. I've written poems before, but usually in an effort to get laid. Boxes, as a general rule, will not get me laid. Here's the poem:

i built it, so i shouldn't complain
it's comfy, well appointed
except the furniture doesn't all match
and i fight against the size
big is better, right?
except when it's not
i'm tired and it still needs care
what if it were smaller
and i could sit on the beach and sip frozen drinks
and write on my laptop
while my kids play in the surf
in a world where english isn't the first language
or the second
would that box be more comfortable
and why do i fight so hard for this one?
