Couches and Couches

I sat upon couches and couches To search for a new one to buy, Yet each had a negative aspect, Though my husband gave each one a try. Some had shapes that I didn’t approve of, Others colors that had no appeal. Quite a few were so deep, my legs dangled And I hated how that made me feel. We saw fabrics and leathers and pillows, Most of which I rejected on sight, But we finally found one, not perfect, Though much better than merely all right. Did we buy it? Not yet, but I’m thinking, For I need time to sit and decide And my good-natured husband is waiting, For with what I conclude, he’ll abide.

You'll live with the couch for a long time. I think you're right to wait.

This was funny and I could relate. My husband and I tried to find a couch recently. The right color and the right size. What a project. Every couch in every store was black, bright cherry red or brown. Finally we just gave up and purchased one we didn't like. The akwardness comes when you are trying to buy a mattress! Easy to fall asleep right in the store or just embarrassing when your husband grabs you for a hug on a Sealy Posturepedic! lol.
