So many great poems about... couches!
Zounds! I had no idea this would be such a popular topic!
Jill Scoggins told a great story:
Leather sofa has
“baseball stitching” that hubby
loves. So we keep it.
He’s a sports writer.
Sports rules his life. So it rules
mine to a degree.
Twenty-plus years on,
sofa needs retiring. But…
he can’t let it go.

We had this tale from IPLawGuy:
Made partner, bought couch
Office move, took the couch home
Cat pee; had to go.

And Desiree's family had a dog/couch issue:
“No dogs on the couch!”
That is what my parents said.
“Yeah, right” said the dogs.

Dr. Daniel Price used the couch to good effect:
My plan: get her to

it. Sofa, so good.

Christine, like WCWM, had a blue couch:
Faded, blue leather
Have spent so many a night
Enjoying sweet dreams.

And so many anonymous but excellent entries, like this:
Some timely advice:
I wouldn't sit there if I
Were you -- couch, three kids.

And this:
Brown corduroy couch
So ugly but so comfy!
Felt like a warm hug

And this:
Lumpy dumpy couch
Got it from the (wrong) roadside
Still sitting on it.

And this:
Soporific couch
Two minutes before sleep hits
Magical sofa.

And, finally, this:
Three dogs. One love seat.
One has to go. A problem.
Dog ate the couch. Solved.
