MAGPIE TALES

LIVING IN HOPE
I'm having an operation!
After years of being loved,
Sat upon,
Bounced upon,
Lain upon.
Why! Reggie proposed to Gert
On me!
*
I was a 'focal point'.
In fact, and this still sustains me,
The colour-scheme of the whole room
Was built around me.
I can still remember that glow of pride
When I heard Mother say
'Of course,
The sofa's the focal point'.
*
I admit I felt somewhat hurt
When I was covered
With that hideous 'loose cover'!
I felt like a fat old lady
In a wide floral dress!
To add insult to injury,
It was blue, with brown splodges!
Me, with splodges!
*
And I was moved to the playroom!
I was still loved, though.
I remember Mary sobbing her heart out on me!
Silly girl!
*
Now I await the ambulance.
I'm to have an operation called
Recycling.
I expect I'll be as good as new when I recover!

A Simple ABC
UMBRELLA
There was a delightful young fella
Who had an enormous umbrella
If he met a nice girl
He would give it a twirl
And they'd both dance a wild tarantella!

Another excellent rhyme from Rinkly. Sofa, so good. :-)
Rinky, your poems always invigorate!
Love the jaunt into loose coverings!
very nice take!
I that was a delightful story of a couch....
Oh dear, who's going to break it to the sofa?
Operation for a sofa? Whatever next! LOL
Wonderful! If sofas could really talk ... maybe Disney could do an animated film???
I love the quick pace and delightful tongue in cheek end to this poem.
Fun and humorous, without being cutesy! :)
Wonderful fun and oh how I feel so sorry for the poor sofa - recycled (if only it knew)!
