I'M Your Barstool

I see we are open again. It’s time to welcome old friends. The homely, the lonely, they who want only to have somewhere to place their rear ends. The people I bear are so glad. The stories I hear are not bad. Where I smell the beers and I taste the tears of the sad, and they who are driven mad. So come in, come on, come over - come over and take a seat. I am here to help you take your mind off your feet. All day I sit here waiting for everyone who comes. I am your barroom barstool, who welcomes all your bums. Here comes a raving beauty, this is gunna be fun. An hour glass figure; tight blue jeans - where do those legs run? But why has she stopped walking? Can’t she just stop talking! Oh no, wait - this bloke’s fat and ugly and he weighs two tonne. Barroom stools have feelings too. They just don’t see a pretty face, although they love to touch the cheeks that are in some other place - So come in, come on, come over - come over and take a seat. I am here to help you take your mind off your feet. All day I sit here waiting for everyone who comes. I am your barroom barstool, who welcomes all your bums. Now here comes the girl that I’m looking for. An hour glass figure and parts to explore. Her blonde hair’s amazing; I feel like hell raising, for bar stools like you also like to score. The life of a barstool is a life worth living. Supporting the souls who need forgiving. I’m hoping each minute the perfect one comes, ‘cause I’m sick of tired of supporting old bums.

The "end" justifies the lyrics, Lindsay! Love this quirky poem- "Bottoms up when bums are down..." hahaha! Great lyric! : D

G'day Aqua Marine … thanks for reading and placing a comment. Wrote this for a country singer who asked for lyrics about a bar stool. A real challenge at the time - thanks Aqua - Lindsay

Hence the bar stool credo, "Pride cometh before a fall?" Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … In my younger days Rico, a bar stool was a great support until I fell of it. I'm sure I heard it laugh - thanks Rico - Lindsay

I have seen the humble barstool in a new light. Your humour is ace Lindsay.

G'day Tom … I was asked to write a poem about a bar stool. After scratching my head, this is the end result. I'm pleased you enjoyed it Tom - Lindsay
