Gale the Sitter

12/11/2010

There once was a man named Gale
   Who designed to sit without fail
      A new era of comfort his butt would hail
        Other's definitions of it would pale

The first step in his plan bought a chair
   A chair so full of cushions beyond compare
      Put some wheels on the bottom he did dare
         And a toilett and fridge with space to spare

His next step was to hire an aid
   Someone to help him whenever he bade
     He would pay well for this person in trade
        With this he went forth plans well laid

At this point one might wonder why
   Was Gale just lazy or incredibly shy
      Perhaps the rules of standing he couldn't comply
        But in truth, he just wanted to try

20 years later he is in the books
   The standing ideal he has firmly shook
      Guiness has rewarded the risk that he took
         Gale the steady sitter, that was his little nook.

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
