The Couch

I bought a couch on Sunday, and they dropped it off today,
I now am so damn happy, –that I don’t know what to say!
Keep smiling one of those half grins, and feel it spread full face,
For house and home and comfy zone, this is a saving grace

Not sure why I was giddy, or grinning with this glee,
Then it hit me: this is number two, I’ve picked for me!
Last one, from my thirties, and the others compromise,
And recent futon left behind? Not wanted, I surmise…

So maybe it’s the color, or the fact I planned it out,
Or maybe soft and squishy cushions make me wanna shout
It doesn’t even matter, though my pups sure like it too,
This house is turning to a home, and that I can construe
