Swatches

In my never-ending sofa search,

Which fills my mind with stress,

I order color swatches, which

Don’t guarantee success.

 

In fabric, if the color’s off,

That ruins the appeal

And leather samples might have grains

The site did not reveal.

 

My husband will not get involved –

He doesn’t really care –

For even if a new couch comes,

He’d much prefer his chair.

 

Yet still, I send in my requests,

Ten swatches on the way,

And if they don’t work out, I guess

My current couch will stay.
