The Narra Chair

Although
            I am not
          your date,
            nor your 
         lover, still
            you can 
           have me 
             anytime.
         Yes, anytime 
             for as long
              as you like,
              but unlike them you can’t bring me
                with you wherever you go, even if 
                you wanted to. I can’t and I won’t
              follow you, ‘cause I preferred to stay
              at home                              and wait
              for your                                   sweet 
              return                                        that I 
              may                                            give                         
              you                                            what 
              I was                                 made for.
            So, have                                  a seat. 
            Relax,                                      honey!
