Do Not Sit

Do not sit,
under any circumstances,
on our display.

Doing so
could deplete your finances.
i.e. you’ll have to pay
for any damage caused.

Doing so
might mean Armed Forces
descend from the ceiling
and Security Men
crawl out from the woodwork
with orders to shoot.

I don’t think that will suit you
or any members of your family
who might be caught in the crossfire.
And it’s not a situation we desire.

Doing so
could result in triggering
the red hot poker
which is hidden beneath the upholstery.

But, if that appeals to you,
you might like to step
into the back room.

This way, Madam

This way, Sir.


Step Right Up
