Buying a Couch

Nowadays, to buy a couch, 
You make your choice online,
By picking out a fabric, color,
Size, price and design.

You do not have a way to tell,
When shove comes after push,
How it will feel once it arrives
And you plop down your tush.

So yes, you can return it
If you don’t like what you see,
But be prepared to pay
A rather large restocking fee.

I know there still are stores around
But few and far-between,
So I will roll the dice
To buy a couch I’ve never seen.

It seems ridiculous to me to buy a couch sight unseen. But that's the way of the world now...

Good luck with that, Ilene. I went through a similar "ordeal" recently with a chair I ordered from Amazon. It looks beautiful...but does not conform very well to my "tush". But, I'm not going to deal with the "ordeal" of returning it. Perhaps in time, it and my behind will become friends.
