The Cuddle Chair

 

Out shopping in town with hubby,

We went in a furniture store.

Decided to try out the sofas,

Wasn’t that what they were for?

 

We came upon a large rounded chair,

As if from a corner suite.

Two cushions, but would it seat two?

To try and find out seemed neat.

 

Well, neither of us expected it to swivel,

Nor that we’d sink so far down.

We were practically on top of each other,

And not too far from the ground.

 

Well, I have to say it was really comfy.

But at our age an odd idea.

We struggled and couldn’t get out of it.

No one to notice, nobody near.

 

Nothing to hold on to, we tried again,

With a few too many wriggles.

He said call an assistant to help us,

And that’s when I got the giggles.

 

It’s not as if I’m a young bimbo,

Nor he an ignorant pup.

We are both aged sixty-two.

You couldn’t make it up!

Thank you so much everyone for your comments.

Thomas, strange you should mention musical chairs, I wrote one at the weekend called Musical Beds!

Lol, Isobel, we did go bed shopping too, as it happens, but didn't make quite such a spectacle of ourselves!

Bed hopping, Julian? Perhaps I should rename that poem! lol.

So you're claiming all that swivelling was an accident? Remind me not to follow you when you go bed shopping...
