Ol' Red was a faithful friend
Enduring bouncing little feet
Drooling dogs chewing bones
Popsicles and sticky treats
Grownups sleepily snoring
Through TV shows oh so boring
Now all Ol' Red hears is a woosh
The cars are passing by..... swoosh
This book the Red Couch marks the culmination
of the four-year adventure of two award winning
photographers who traversed the USA with an eight
foot long red velvet couch and the dream of creating
a portrait of America. The Red Couch is a stunningly
beautiful diary of a dream fulfilled, a portrait of
America in all her diversity and the story of
adventures nonpareil.

The life of a couch. Excellently done.
You really captured the essence of a beloved piece of furniture and all it sees... (I hate popsicles ... peanut butter is just as bad :)
red is a cute color,
glad to see you take the prompt by focusing on red.
childhood memories are always profound to recall.
Sort of 'Have couch, will travel"... ;0)
There are lots of memories held within our couches. If only they could talk!
A very full life, indeed. : )
The book looks interesting. Thanks.
We've had a few of those old red couches in my lifetime ... love the extra info about the book.
old sofas are like a comfy pet always willing to cuddle or play.

Awe....there so much love in sofa world today.....and we all have to let go, sadly!

NICE!!
I've never really thought how many stories our couches might tell if they could talk! Very nice piece. Well done.
There is no denying the usefulness of a sofa in the house. It could have witnessed far more than mentioned. If only it could talk!

I love the way your couch tells a lifetime's tale
A life well spent . . couched in a few great lines.
At last, the couch has its say.
Our best friends are sometimes just under us, unnoticed. Interesting the objects in our lives.
Lovely couch Magpie.
"O would some power the giftie gi' us
To see oursel's as couches see us." :-)
so many memories...now relegated to the road side...nice use of sound there at the end...i like..
Ah, yes...life's changes. Well told...
Good Ol' Red. Thank goodness furniture can't talk ; )
Sad endings, indeed...and I really like the parallel universe of the "Red Couch"...
This was a rollicking fun magpie about that old couch! And you are so great to introduce an appropriate book along with this magpie. :)
