A Conspiracy Chair So Sitter Beware!

Not referring to a babysitter or catsitter or dogsitter or housesitter. Does that make you bitter? Hey, they have an app for those things. What? You were too busy looking for flings? They have plenty of spots for that too. Just be careful when you bring home someone new.

Time for a meal.
Time to all gather.
Can be quite the ordeal.
Stay home we'd rather.

Unless home is it.
Like a game of tag.
Then mingle a bit.
Hope there's no lag.

A tock and a tick.
A flap and a yap.
Who invited this dick?
Do I still have a bear trap?

Slowly there.
Slowly nearing.
Sitter beware.
Butts a down rearing.

As in sitting.
Take up space.
Doing all but shitting.
An ass to chair embrace.

But hold on.
A few are out.
This is a con.
What's it about?

A ragged one.
It doesn't match.
Hurts each bun.
A back ache will hatch.

Odd one out.
Maybe odd two.
The chair is about,
But it is eww.

Now for the end.
It comes to task.
Door open, hit send.
What's that you ask?

Where did the chairs go?
Why weren't there enough?
Damned if I know.
Now scram and take your stuff.

Did you ever notice that? Still confused by the cat? Ever go to a bigger, biggish, big kinda gathering thing? Ever run out of chairs to fling? Get it now? I knew you would somehow. It seems that every table is always short a chair or two. Who makes that rule come due? Does Santa steal chairs from each sea? I guess he needs them to make toys for you and me. Did you ever have to sit on one of those "extra" chairs with your back mass? They sure can be uncomfortable to humans and maybe even my little rhyming ass.

Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.

  3. I guess that's why I avoid big gatherings. Except at church - and we have lots of nice, padded seats there.

  4. as a hostess for big family gatherings sometimes, lack of seating does keep folks from staying too long!

    and there you will stand with a frown

  7. Chairs do seem to be in short supply at dinner time, when there're guests:)

  8. Just counted and we have 22 chairs here
    never used them all at one time
    I don't think we would have room for all if we did
    and would have to squeeze around each other like dimes

  12. I went to a wedding last summer that clearly stated on the invite to bring your own chair (though it wasn't a bring your own beer event as they did provide that at least lol). Yes, it was a big old hillbilly wedding, but at least we knew ahead of time chairs wouldn't be provided.

  14. We don't use the chairs at my place
    We use the couch which is the best space

  15. At a meeting I went to on Monday, we had too many chairs.
    So we moved the extras over by the stairs.
    And went on eating and talking and having fun.
    Each and every one.

  16. A Conspiracy Chair So Sitter Beware!
    Not to be caught standing in despair
    Can bring your own beer
    But a chair a bit queer
    There are things to accept as a 'dare'

  18. When my family would gather, we'd have to use everything, including the steps as seats.

    1. Steps can work
      Hard on the arse though so not a great perk

  19. I rarely go to a big party, but I go to a number of big family gatherings. We perch anywhere and share chairs, if necessary. What is worse than a bad chair is having to sit at the "kids table!" LOL Have a good one, Pat!
