Better late than never!

Keith's Ramblings

Mr. and Mrs. Wise couldn’t believe their eyes. Their garden chairs had disappeared, what a surprise.

Chairmates Charlie and Cheryl had given years of loyal service to their owners, but with age they were beginning to suffer from stiff leg syndrome. Some nights they’d go for a stroll around the garden in order to get a little exercise, but they were feeling it was time to do something more. I mean, how would you like to just stand around staring at each other across a table, be occasionally moved and sat on?

Chairs have feeling too you know. It’s a little known fact that on the night of May the eleventh, eighteen twenty five, the Chairleader declared war on the  benches that sat idly around on streets and in parks. Unfortunately, the charge of the chair brigade was unsuccessful and all that were left were a few charred remains. The many hundreds of owners were as baffled then as were and Mr. and Mrs. Wise this morning.

Charlie and Cheryl had decided it was time to say chairio and go off  search of advenchairs new, and off they went!

    I steadfastly cleaned the deck chairs yesterday morning, fluffed the cushions in anticipation of a

    delightful afternoon…..then everyone ate lunch in the dining room.

    How interesting. I’ve seen this photo on many blogs but didn’t notice the chairs are missing

    Well, I was thinking sofa so good until I got to ‘chairio’!

    You might have cushioned the blow, or at least couched it in more comfortable terms.

    Your usual riotous sniggerfest, Keith.

      You’ve out-chaired me C.E! Careful you don’t step on a stool next time you’re out walking, dog owners can be very unreasonable.
