TV adverts during the 'Christmas Period Sales'seemed to be exclusively for enormous settees, intended for castles or furniture showrooms, so -
Let's buy a ten-seater settee at Christmas;
Your parents are coming, and mine,
There'll be the two boys, and their partners
So we could all sit together, in line.
We can choose between leather or fabric
From designs, either complex or drear,
And we won't have to pay for it next week,
In fact not 'till the end of next year.
And it looks like we'll make a huge saving,
Though it won't leave much space in the room
As it'll be full with the new one;
For the old one I'm afraid that spells DOOM.. .. ....
But that's not a problem, when it's in the van,
We'll go to a field that I've seen,
And leave it just there, it won't be alone,
There's some old chairs and a washing machine..
