The Man with a Box

I was offered a box last month.

It was coarse, and dry.

I didn’t much care for it: I declined.

I was offered a box last week.

It was short, and tight.

I didn’t much care for it: I declined.

I was offered a box last night.

It was blue, or grey?

I didn’t much care for it: I declined.

I was offered a box today.

It was dark, and cold.

I didn’t much care for it: I accepted.
