Ode To My Easy Chair

When I'm weary, you are there To bear my weight, You enfold me in your care And stimulate My deepest thoughts to come out, When you hold me; You're my most frequent hangout, When I'm lonely, You're my haven of repose, You're my plush throne where I doze; Cosy in your snug embrace, I lean on you, You are my relaxing place, And my pal true, You are my inspiration, When my muse flees, You have my admiration, My mind you please, You're my think tank, my comfort, To you I run, when I'm hurt; Oh! Easy chair! I love you! Where would I be Without you? When I feel blue, I run to thee, You let me sit on your lap, Relish your charms As long as I want, you wrap Me in your arms, Easy chair, my easy chair! My comfort beyond compare!

Sounds like a sumptuously rewarding pastime, Jo. Congrats on your win. I tend to stretch out on the sofa but you make that easy chair sound inviting indeed. Terry

Good one, Jo. I have one that massages while you sit. I don't spend near as much time in it as I used to. Good luck, sweetie.

"You're my haven of repose, You're my plush throne where I doze;" Love these lines. A beautifully written Ode, dear Jo. Relaxing on an easy chair is heavenly especially after a tiresome day.
