Is This Chair Taken

She stole a chair And rushed away; ‘It’s taken now,’ I heard her say. *over here, people often ask, 'Is this chair taken?', which means, 'Is this seat vacant?' For Susan’s ‘Taken’ contest

Thanks for the clarification, Jack... over 'there' the expression means just the opposite...!!! Anyway, I was trying to read between the (for me misunderstood) lines to come to the actual meaning! Well that's cleared up... Terry (glad I was able to provide a friend with a few laughs... )

I loved the image you planted here with this write my friend! I wonder if she would lend the chair to me when I need it? I hope you are hanging in there Jack, are things going better for you? You are posting on here again so maybe it's not too bad, maybe even good! I really enjoyed reading this delightful and fun poem this afternoon! What an enlightening piece, Great Work!!
