I'M Your Bar Stool

I see we are open again. It’s time to welcome old friends. The homely, the lonely, they who want only to have somewhere to place their rear ends. The people I bear are so glad. The stories I hear are not bad. Where I smell the beers and I taste the tears of the sad, and they who are driven mad. So come in, come on, come over - come over and take a seat. I am here to help you take your mind off your feet. All day I sit here waiting for everyone who comes. I am your barroom bar-stool, who welcomes all your bums. Here comes a raving beauty, this is gunna be fun. An hour glass figure; tight blue jeans - where do those legs run? But why has she stopped walking? Can’t she just stop talking! Oh no, wait - this bloke’s fat and ugly and he weighs two tonne. Barroom stools have feelings too. They just don’t see a pretty face, although they love to touch the cheeks that are in some other place - So come in, come on, come over - come over and take a seat. I am here to help you take your mind off your feet. All day I sit here waiting for everyone who comes. I am your barroom bar-stool, who welcomes all your bums. Now here comes the girl that I’m looking for. An hour glass figure and parts to explore. Her blonde hair’s amazing; I feel like hell raising, for bar stools like you also like to score. The life of a bar-stool is a life worth living. Supporting the souls who need forgiving. I’m hoping each minute the perfect one comes, ‘cause I’m sick of tired of supporting old bums.

Hilarious poem such a caring clever bar stool is destined for better younger, bums. I enjoyed how you personified this stool to make your poem come to life with its human thoughts. Thanks for the laughs Lindsay, Hugs, blessings, Jennifer

Hello Judy ... yes, sometimes these bar stools must support a heavy load. If only they could talk; or maybe not - thank you Judy - Lindsay

This is a good idea of a novelette. You can tell individual stories of the people who sit on you. A lovely idea. ~~

Enjoyed! As you know, old bums don't fall off stools as frequently as young bums! Aloha!

What great humor, Lindsay!! From the perspective of a barstool I'd say, "Come in, come over, and have a seat on me." How have you been? It's been quite some time since I've been around, but I'm glad you're still posting. This one was a fun read!
