Authors' Note: "Self-assembly" affordable and transportable furniture is the basis of success for Ikea , a successful Swedish marketer. The stability of their sewing tables is remarkable, assuming you can get all the fasteners placed correctly.

Authors' Note:

hamulus: (Latin) a little hook, plural = hamuli, with biologic implications discussed at OEDILF in a verse by Snowy Owl. Also, the hamate bone of the human wrist, bearing a prominent hook-like extension is a relatively frequent site of human fractures, as in a verse by your blogging team (see link below).

Remus: one of Rome's mythological founding twin infants, most often pronounced in anglo-Latin as REE-mus, but here, invoking more classic Latin, as RAY-mus.

Authors' Note: 

 The Donald Duck legend is reviewed in other poems on this site. Here, for example.

The term malarkey for "nonsense" is likely of Greek origin, but does not appear to relate to mallard ducks. In any case, the all-white Donald appears to be a domesticated Pekin duck rather than a member of a natural species.
