Love Rocks

Fine Diving in Chicago Custom Refurbishing

The Rocking Chair: a Scene of Love and Repair

Scene opens as CHAIR sulks in corner. It’s covered in dust; its legs are worn. No one has used it in decades.

Chair: Ah, I am old. House guests no longer look my way. I just don’t rock the way I used to. What am I to do?

Enter DIANA DURKES, stage right, in paint-stained overalls.

Diana: Fear not, friend. I have ten years’ experience refurbishing the likes of you. With a fresh coat, some decoupage, and a little sanding, you’ll be just like new.

Chair: Really?

Diana: Sure. I do custom work in my basement studio. Mosaic Table, Nightstand, and Retro Chest will make you feel right at home.

Chair: Oh, Diana. You’re the sit.
