Furniture

We hold hidden secrets

When opened after a long time

Skeletons tumble out – CLOSETS

      We groan with our burden

      Sometimes give way to pressure

    We need good support – CHAIRS

We are very useful

We bear food, cutlery, flowers, etc.

We need a good scrub/polish – TABLES

      We provide a good night’s sleep

      Rest and relaxation to the weary

      We blush at the naughty – BEDS

We are over-stuffed/over-worked

Seldom free from the couch potatoes

We threaten to go on a strike

If we are called the ‘casting couches’! – SOFAS/COUCHES
