Kevin Halls - The Old Settee

I've been in this living room
for years and years
witnessed many happy times
and lots and lots of tears.
Had Children jumping on me
and pets shedding their Hair
money been lost down my back
when only I knew it was there.
After the kids had gone to bed
that's when 'romance' took place
and if I had human features
bright Red would be my Face.
Had the family watching the Telly
sitting on me night after night
but I've always enjoyed the sport
but Horror films give me a fright.
I'm getting on a bit now though
and I may end up on one of those Skips
as they said my springs had gone
and my sides were full of rips.
I was right as my days are up
still even Settees have to die
but I've had a decent life
now I'm off to the great Sofa in the Sky!
