Across the Living Room Still Sits His Legacy Chair

Across the living room

Quietly sits a chair

In glum despair 

With no one sitting in it anymore 

It's cushion barely bruised nor used

Since it once patron has past on

And one can only hope he is as
comfortable now

As he was whence here sat upon 
his favorite chair 

Because that chair was in effect his
throne and so made him feel like a King 

And that is why no one but he gets to
sit in it and it shall ever be replaced

So across the living room it still sits
in state retired untill this very day

A fitting tribute to the King 

Who not only left the building 

But his chair behind as well 

To remind us all of his legacy and
what he taught us was that comfort 
is love
