Pull up a chair for grief right now and let her sit beside you
She’s come around to hold your hand so let her in, she’ll guide you.
She’ll be with you throughout your loss
She’ll be your only comfort.
She’ll wipe your tears and hold your heart while all things fall apart around you.
This empty, hollow. silent pain
will also be her burden
Allow her in to share your pain allow her all the sorrow
For it is grief who helps us all to get through this day so we can face tomorrow
Grieve as much as often every day and she will be beside you.
I heard a loud knock at the door,
I was stunned for what was in store,
a red box I was handed
a long kiss was then landed...
house sitting's no longer a bore!
These are very trying time I'd say
Try this, try that, but the results are the same
Let's pull up our britches
Turn on the switches
Attack till this virus is shot down in flames
Pull up that Chair she said.
Sit your *** down.
I want you to listen.
He wrote this poem only once.
Pull up that chair
The words are not going to kill you.
Read each word aloud
Think What it is.
now can you tell me what it is .
Pull up that chair after you get out
For school is over and you don't need the chair.
Good evening Miss Becca, I do declare
Would be an honour to pull up a chair
Can we start with beetle hairs on toasted nettle shoots
With your salad of rainchokes and fiddlehead roots
Oh my so delic-ibus I might just have more
Your taste in tucker is first class, I swear
You sure you want me to sit right here
Drinking sarspirella mixed with root beer
Your liking for lardines caused some surprise
Tossed with the tears from a whaleybone's eyes
My whiskers are twitching with pleasure ….you see
sharing your food, is a delight for me
Dessert is just too much, I might give it a miss
Sweet rasponion’s light as a feathers kiss
Sitting here with you is such a delight
Shall we discuss the bug situation all night
So glad you asked me to pull up a chair
Am mewwing so loud it’s almost a purr
So big a tip of dol-yapper seeds
All I did was supply your needs
Thank you for asking me to sit there
Purrfect tabbiness becos you care
penned 7 May 2017
What, pull up a chair now, and sit down with you?
That’s a lovely idea, I like it, I do!
I’m due for a break and the boss, he won’t care.
Yes! Hold on a moment, I’ll pull up a chair!
Now as for that salad, well . . . I’d rather not
I’m not much on rainchokes and wassava’s hot!
A sharkflower topping? No, let me suggest
Our Brazzul Bean Sampler, now that is the best!
Oh, this is great fun, but I’m sorry to say
We’re all out or lardines, at least for today.
But you’re right, it won’t matter what food we eat
Just sitting beside you is such a good treat.
Do you come in here often to the Cat Hat Café?
(So sorry, that long name’s just too hard to say)
Do you still have some room for that cragberry ice?
On a slice of green muffin, now that would be nice!
What’s that you say, you’ll be staying a week?
Then you must join us Sunday for some Hide-n-I’ll-peak!
Thank you for sharing this time and your lunch.
Will you join me tomorrow for a chat and some brunch?
