Old sofas never die.
Even on streets discarded;
They just look that way.

  9. I've noticed more people place their gently used items on the street to be recycled to those in need...a sign of our times. Enjoyed your verse.

  10. Like old soldiers they never die they fade away. They hold on to their dignity even if its usefulness is no more.
