1 Ode to a Chair

Oh chair - what a great tool to use
You eliminate mindless standing, replace it with sitting
You’re at the high chair of furniture, but carry a burden,
Sitting above all, oh how great, though you must bear the weight of all.

Supporting thousands is no easy task,
But you are built sturdy, I believe
You will stand strong when others sit
Chairing the comfort-ability of furniture
So don’t take a sick leave,
Pave the land for all, right the wrong.

4 If you’d written it, it would not be vanity. Effective communication, if not elevated poetical forms. How on earth did you come across such a thing? Because it never would have occurred to me to look for such a fitting piece of verbiage.
