Replying to a comment on:
The kissing chair incident (Free verse) by Stephen Robins
The setting for this my tale,
Which I'd rather set in braille,
Is a town famous for its salt,
(And occasional common asault).
I was there to purchase a picture,
Not receive a woman's stricture,
After ten pints of rubbish port,
I sat on a chair for brief support.
This chair was made of rafia and dust,
When sat upon it would combust,
Having fallen to pieces twice before,
But never to a gentleman's guffaw.
So i sat by broad and handsome behind,
Coated in a gentleman's rind,
And 'lo the chair did fail,
And backwards this fat chap did flail!
The chair was situated in a hotel,
Patronised by those in suits of shell,
It appeared this chair of antique condition,
Which had suffered a back fat demolition,
Was a local feature of repute,
By those in 'forementioned suit,
I felt the shame of my class,
As I picked the splinters out of my arse,
To be held before a peroxide visison
Who rightly poured forth her derision.
Of a bunch of chinless wonders,
Who beset her town with blunders,
Such as the wrecking of priceless chairs,
And the perming of frizzled hairs.
I left the town, or was I chased?
Either way I made great haste,
And now each time I say a prayer,
When I sit next to a chav in a chair.
