    It was a dark and stormy night. The area rug was in the midst of a carpet existential crisis, wondering “Why am I just laying here, inviting people to walk all over me?”

    It was a rug. It was a good rug. A strong, sturdy rug, a man’s rug. The kind of rug you could roll up in on a craggy mountain top while you wait for the bearer to bring up your guns. It was a good rug.

    But I’m moving and it’s too small for my new place. $174 obo. Pick-up only.

    Area rugs have it tough;
    Getting stepped on is so rough
    On one’s soul. Yet to lie
    In one place, I decry.
    Rugs must be free, I say!
    There do not make them stay!
    Instead, sell them to the highest bidder
    So of the world they may see the splendor.

    All inspiration and creativity can be found with the haiku – sending the buyer into a susceptible zen state, from the more practical:

    Do you need a rug?
    Area rugs to sell here,
    Also carpets, yes.

    or

    An area bare?
    Buy a rug or carpet now.
    Prices on request.

    to the more poignant:

    Beauty is carpet,
    Mystery discoveries,
    Found underneath it.

    Hmmm… one could totally take ‘area rugs and carpets’ into an adult category… is this someone who can’t write their own cheesy ‘I need to hook up’ ad?

    Jorge knew the rug all to well at this point..that seemingly innocent carpet just laying there waiting like an old adversary- plotting for Jorges next step.

    It wasn’t always this way.
    As a young boy Jorge and the rug would play together, that is, until that fatefull day…..

    Through all the years of their life together, she would never forget that moment. The way he’d looked at her next to the fireplace. The nervous excitement with which he’d descended to one knee on the area rug or carpet. Before he’d even asked, she’d wanted to shout, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

    Behind every great man, there is a great area rug or carpet. Be great today.

    …but the “made in china” hidden beneath her pined “No!, No!”

    Would she hold up to such man-handling?

    Now though, in the *throws of passion, she dare not let him know she was in fact not a Persian…

    I’ve been working on some samples that are too long to post.

    One of them, I call The Not-a-Lion, the Which, and the Area Rug.

    The other is a musical called simply Rug Doctor!
