NaPoWriMo Day 17: Bean Bags?

Posted on April 25, 2019 by mabhsavage

Is it a bag of beans?

Who decided that

Tiny polystyrene beads

Were actually beans?

Are they named for dried beans?

Fresh beans?

Baked beans?

I don’t understand.

And why is it a bag?

It’s a seat.

A pouffe.

A tuffet, perhaps.

A stool, at a stretch.

But a bag?

Nothing is stored

Or carried,

Except its own beans.

Am I a meat bag?

Is the sofa a wood bag

Stuffing bag

Cloth bag

Spring bag

Bean bag?

I guess, to be fair

Polystyrene bead filled lump

Just doesn’t have the same

Ring.
