Sofa Chances

Sofa Chances


A veteran who served this land   
Employed by a sofa shop    
In Bethesda, Maryland    
Made an afternoon delivery stop    

Lovely lady came to the door    
Wearing provocative dress      
He put the couch on the floor    
And sat down quickly to catch his breath    

He on one end of the sofa        
And she perched on the other      
Thought he'd move a bit closer      
Carefully, like a swimming otter       

His first brash move caused him to fear         
The sofa made a strange sound        
But he wanted to get near          
So he stood his sofa-sitting ground         

After some agonizing moves        
He managed to reach her end      
And thought how he might improve        
His chances to make her a close friend        

He whispered into her cute ear          
She shrieked like it was doomsday        
"Fool, Why did you stay in here?"         
My cop husband is in the driveway         

Now he's a very swift runner        
But the K-9 had great speed     
Cop put him in his cruiser   
And drove him over to Walter Reed        

After required medical care    
And handcuffed to his bedrail     
The cop didn't charge him a fare     
Just transported him to county jail
