Furniture Gone Bad

I saw the sign on the pole.
Missing sofa---
  please call.
I envisioned some grand settee,
  off 
on a journey.
Its wooden legs 
taking it cross town.
Had it been unhappy at home?
If they'd known,
would therapy have helped?
Perhaps a furniture intervention.
Psychologists would say,
 re-upholstering 
could bolster the ego.
It's sad
when furniture 
suddenly goes  
  astray.
