Please be Seated
What is a chair?
A relaxing seat?
A dining place?
For I was sitting on one as I ate,
And wondered what would come to pass
If there was no chair to support my lap.
And how terrible it would be
If one tried to sit down to read
But found they fell to the floor?
How would a chairless world run,
With no place to rest the legs of not one
of many bipeds?
Our muscles would bulge with the strain
Of having to stand up all day,
And though our physique would be buff,
At what cost would we huff and puff
To stand on tired legs?
So the next time you take a seat
At a table with bread and meat,
Say a thanksgiving prayer for your chair,
And thank God that it was, indeed, there.
