Rhymania: What Is A Chair?


What Is A Chair?

What is a chair?
A place to sit, a place to eat?
A place to rest your weary feet?

Nailed together wood
with leather stapled to it good.
Made from the finest hide
 with feathers shoved inside!

What is a chair?
A place to ponder, a place to weep?
A place for lazy cats to sleep?

A cushion for the pushin'–
it's where your butt calls home.
A piece of recycled plastic
stuffed with a slab of foam.

What is a chair?
A place to spin, a place to swivel?
A place to plan and snivel?

Ever thought it cruel
to sit on a leather stool
knowing that something died
so you could sit with pride?

What is a chair?
A place to lean, a place to lie?
A place to shrivel up and die?

All these things and more–
that's what a chair is for.
At least that's what they say...
but who cares, anyway?
