The Couch

Perhaps you are thinking to yourself, "Is that a couch in a tree?" Or maybe you are thinking, "Man, that sure looks like a good place to sit." This is the view I have from my dinning room table of the neighbors backyard. I find myself starring at that couch every morning. First of all, because it looks quite out of place, and second because I still can not quite understand how they got it up there and how in the world they plan on getting it down. Now if you look closely you can see the power lines and the roof of the barn giving you a little indication of just how high up this thing is. I have never seen anyone sitting up there. But one of these days I am going to march next door and ask if I can take a book up there. I can't help but think that it must stink.. and be kind of soggy, I mean it sits up there rain and shine. That would be a good comfy spot for the squirels, and I'm sure the birds have pecked nice holes in it seeking stuffing to add to thier nests. I have seen people try to make thier tree forts amazing... but I think there is a point when you've taken it too far.
