I sat on an old wishing chair
\nA whining, rickety one at that
\nI said, “To Paris, away with flair
\nBut it stood there looking like a doormat
\n” Fly”, I said, “or i’ll thrash you without care”
\n“I must see Notre Dame and the city of art”
\nBut the chair shook me off, I almost fell by my hair
\nThen I threatened to pull it piece by piece apart
\n” No, you won’t”, it said, “you see I have no pair”
\n“Get off, I prefer kids, not adults so fat”
\nI screamed and tore at my thick black hair
\nJumping and snarling like an angry cat
\nI woke up sweating on my bed soft and dear
\nThe old wishing chair faded like ghosts of past<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
