A Daily Respite

I bought a chair to rest my bones,
I call it “Sam”, my vibrating throne.
It hugs my back and holds my drink,
the perfect place to sit and think.
But once I drop onto that seat,
I lose the use of both my feet.
A strong magical embracing force,
locks me inside my lazy course.
I try to rise, I fight that spell,
But in this seat, is where I dwell.
I guess I’m stuck here for the day,
please send snacks rolling my way.
