The Creaking

furnature being a thing i'm lacking i keep my eyes open for what ever i might need and one day my eyes did find a chair with four legs a very nice find i loaded it on the back of the car truth be told it was'nt very far i got the chair home and took it into the kitchen the table was fine except a chair was missin i sat the chair down and sat in it at once it made a little creak but that was no fuss day after day i sat in the chair then one day i thought i heard the chair speak a day or two passed and i thought i heard it again i tried to pay attention and listen again and again i got up and sat down i got up and sat down several times and as i was listening to the creak i heard the chair creaking the creak "you stink" (An entry for the "Chair " contest)

what the...? haha lol if I heard a chair speaking I'd be worried, especially if it said that...are you sure you weren't dropped on your head as a baby or something? have I been sniffing too much furniture polish? has the chair been sniffing too much furniture polish? I haven't laughed so much in days :-)
