To a new sofa

To a new sofa

Thick cushions under my rump
Make me relax , thankful when I come home
From a stressful day of work and chaos.

You comfort my shape, supporting and warming,
Taking the pace of a twenty-year veteran
Who has served well from home to home.

A nod to the sleeper and off to the Goodwill
With hardly a second thought as I stretch
My full length along the new microfiber upholstery.

Thank you, old friend, and welcome home, new Natuzzi.
