The Chair's Request

I walked into my living room to catch up on some reading. I set upon my favorite chair and to my surprise it started speaking! A grumbling and rumbling from beneath and the chair huffed, "Do you mind! It's awfully hard to breathe you know under the weight of your behind!" "Every day you sit on me Without care or notice of my condition You don't clean or dust me and I'm not musty on my own volition." "I want you to reupholster me please... Make me look brand new! THen it might not bother me so to continously bolster you." "I'd lock amazing in a pattern I think. Black and blue with a fleur-de-lis? Or maybe stripes in green and gold! Think how incredible that'd look on me!" "Please my favorite breathing creature Do me this favor I do beg of you. I know I'm old and comfortable But please make me look brand new!"
