The Road Not Taken

 

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Futon Valentines

 

 

From the futon consumer to the retailer futon
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This bed is perfect
Please deliver it Tues.

From the futon retailer to the futon manufacturer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We finally made a sale
Ship us model three-oh-two.

From the futon manufacturer to the futon retailer
Violets are red,
Roses are blue?
You can see we're mixed up
And we lost your order too.

From the futon retailer to the futon consumer
Roses are blue,
Violets are red,
The factory got confused
So we can't bring your bed.

From the futon consumer to the futon retailer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm thinking clearly
And I'm gonna sue you.

From the futon retailer to the futon manufacturer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We need that futon daybed right away
You just gotta pull through.

From the futon manufacturer to the futon retailer
Violets are blue,
Roses are red,
Three-oh-two is discontinued
We'll send three-twenty instead.

From the futon retailer to the futon consumer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We're bringing a better futon daybed
At no extra charge to you.

From the futon consumer to the futon retailer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You say it's better
But I say, “Says who?”

From the futon retailer to the futon consumer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
In light of the circumstances
We'll deduct ten percent for you.

From the futon consumer to the futon retailer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You gotta be kidding
Only half price will do.

From the futon retailer to the futon manufacturer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We're deducting half
When this invoice is due.

From the futon manufacturer to the futon retailer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Pay up or else
We ship nothing to you.

From the futon retailer to the General Public
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
After many years in business,
We now say, “Adieu.”

From the futon consumer to the futon manufacturer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We got the wrong futon daybed
And we're missing hardware too.

From the futon manufacturer to the futon consumer
Roses are blue,
Violets are red
This is how we sell futons.
Enjoy your futon daybed!

From the former futon retailer to the futon manufacturer
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I'm a futon rep now…
Can I work for you?
