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.

ReplyDeleteLate is my fate
DeleteGood morning Hank
Hank ain't late
DeleteLike True's fate
Not enough chairs for everyone to be #1
DeleteThat's 5th in a row
DeleteHopefully a smooth flow!
Hank
Good evening True
DeleteYou are wide awake
Hank is about to sleep!
Hank
Not enough chairs indeed
DeleteJust Hank's at our feed
I like to sit in a chair in the sun, that's makes me sunny in chair!
ReplyDeleteSunny side up?
DeleteSure not a hiccup
I guess that's why I avoid big gatherings. Except at church - and we have lots of nice, padded seats there.
ReplyDeletePadded seats are a win
DeleteNot hard on the arse at one's bin
as a hostess for big family gatherings sometimes, lack of seating does keep folks from staying too long!
ReplyDeleteChases them away
DeleteWorks at our bay
Lol, we've had to use the office chairs that swivel a few times,
ReplyDeletehaha slumming it
DeleteJust a bit
Hint: arrive early to get a chair (haha)
ReplyDeletebut, if you get up someone will sit down
and there you will stand with a frown
That you will
DeleteBetter not have to pee as you sit still
Chairs do seem to be in short supply at dinner time, when there're guests:)
ReplyDeleteWith guests about
DeleteChairs move out
Just counted and we have 22 chairs here
ReplyDeletenever 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
betty
Damn, that is a lot of chairs
DeleteMore then we have stairs
Being a small person, I usually end up with the stool.
ReplyDeleteCan sit up higher with a stool
DeleteA handy tool
orlin N cassie...last thanx bee givin we had noe chairz... sew we sat rite up on de tabull....knot next two de burd tho mind ewe ....☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine spot
DeleteWe enjoy it a lot
I have been to gatherings like that
ReplyDeleteI hate those chairs and secretly whisper, "drat!"
well I think some worse let me tell you
I'd rather sit on the throne in their loo.
haha but that could be bad
DeleteMany others may use it a tad
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.
ReplyDeleteHillbilly wedding with no chairs and beer
DeleteSounds about right when hillbillies are near
We always had a piano bench, and some buckets. But with a big dinner no one sat much.
ReplyDeleteBuckets I've seen used
DeleteThey sure amused
Sit on the floor
ReplyDeletethe butt hurts even more.
That it will
DeleteUnless blankets fill
We don't use the chairs at my place
ReplyDeleteWe use the couch which is the best space
Couch can be a win
DeleteAt any bin
At a meeting I went to on Monday, we had too many chairs.
ReplyDeleteSo we moved the extras over by the stairs.
And went on eating and talking and having fun.
Each and every one.
Extra is better than less
DeleteLike a game of chair chess
A Conspiracy Chair So Sitter Beware!
ReplyDeleteNot 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'
Hank
That there may be
DeleteA dare at one's sea
Enjoyed the read Pat although late in commenting.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad it was grand
DeleteHere in my land
When my family would gather, we'd have to use everything, including the steps as seats.
ReplyDeleteSteps can work
DeleteHard on the arse though so not a great perk
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!
ReplyDeletelol but kids can be more fun
DeleteUnless there is a super germy one
We ran out of chairs at a faculty meeting recently. I was glad I got there early. ;)
ReplyDeleteDidn't have to stand
DeleteThat is grand
