Forgotten Old Chair...

Dusty lonely antique chair
lost your lustre modern fare
whittled wooden hardback saddle
broken wheeled tipping mantle

Covering floor with aged graces
missing party interfaces
one time sat a master...mistress,
now forgotten sitting listless

What accounts you must bestow
stories written young and old
ledgers full of erudition,
...alphabetic composition

Once a time of well oiled use
forgotten,time has made recluse....

So often wonder that very same thing about old finds. Kind of want to let them keep their dignity. Excellent write Jay. Love, Shar
