Yesterday…
From the comfort of the new sofa
We were looking at the old settee
The one we’ve still not disposed of
Thinking…
It actually looks all right there
In front of the folding dining table
Which we could move if it was needed
For
the record…
It’s a green leather two-seater
Quite compact if you were interested
Though we might still decide to keep it
Although…
We were going to recycle it
Or maybe give it away to someone
Who might want to give it a reupholster
You
see…
It was rather uncomfortable
But that’s really no disadvantage
If we don’t sit on it anyway
Because…
If someone should happen to visit
We wouldn’t want to encourage
People to hang around or stay
However…
We don’t get many callers
They usually make us feel awkward
Wishing and hoping they’ll go away
After
all…
Discomfort wouldn’t trouble us
But it might cause them to fidget
Then decide to be getting on their way
But…
If we hang on to the old green sofa
Deciding to accept yet another defeat
We can at least offer them a seat
