“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige
A Bench to Sit on
I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf
Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!
Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!
So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek
A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining
I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
The Recliner
As the night falls
Time for a small
Nap before I fall
Into a complete slumber

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
Sofa
Inside, the warm inviting sofa
In one of the towns in Europa
It may have been fancy once upon a time
But even in its condition it suits me just fine

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
Concrete Bench
Feeling cold and down
When sitting with a frown
This concrete seat
Is my defeat

“In an aeroplane seat, en route to nowhere”
Aeroplane Seat (Seat Sunday 2016-02-21)
A reserved seat
By the window
Supposed treat
With a small peep hole
A looking glass
For what ever may pass
The wing
Of this flying thing

Yellow Seat (Seat Sunday 2016-02-14)
In the bright yellow seat
A guaranteed smile as a treat
When you sit down
You will find an upside frown
Appearing on your face

“When in Vienna, sit on a comfy sofa”
On a Sofa in Vienna (Seat Sunday 2016-02-07)
When weary from your travels
And the day slowly starts to unravel
Better answer to the beckoning
When to its seat it is welcoming
At this hour it surely is permitted
A true respit for the wicked
Feeling beat
Take a seat
It has your number
Fall into a slumber
In the bosom
Of the softest of cushions
And have a good night’s sleep

“If you’re not bringing anything to the table, give up your seat”
A Bench at the Beach (Seat Sunday 2016-01-31)
Looking for my favourite spot
The one I prefer for break times
Buried under snow it seems
Workings of a wintry plot!
Snow aside,
I really don’t mind
Sitting down for a few
Enjoying the silent view
Before the evening
Sun sets
