My Chair

It's about time you got home, No-one has sat in me all day
except for that cat! Do you know what she did to me? She took her
nails to me and scratched me, that's what! just look at my skin! What
are you going to do about it huh? Oh by the way, I found three dollars 
in change in my side pocket, enough to buy a couple tall boys for the 
Saints game tonight. Carpe Diem ( seize the day) recline me back all the way!

Poor chair! *laugh* And I wish my chair would find beer money for me! :) I have a cat that likes to shred my door frames. I'm just lucky, I guess, that he doesn't usually do it to my furniture. Good luck in the contest with this one! ~Juliane

Interesting and very conversational chair. I feel the pain that he experienced with that cat. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
