In His Chair

In his chair he'll watch a movie
Traveling fast to parts unknown
In reach, a mini frig with beer
Oh, look how the kids have grown!

His back pain is a coincidence
It's been said he's in denial
Yes he has sores on his rump,
What is this, some kind of trial?

In his chair he gets all the news
Like there was a riot in France
A fire out west and floods down south
He saw a bear in a bar dance!
 
How can he keep all these places
In that small space beneath his hair?
He's not worried, for he has been told
There is a lot of room in there!

Have you met my husband? Because this sounds a lot like him!

That's funny! Actually it was an exaggerated version of me. Maybe we're brothers from another mother!...80)
