My chair lives

On a diet of time

He tempts you into

His arms, coloured lime

He has many methods

Of catching his prey

All of them deadly,

And devious, I'll say

His habitat is

A dark corner in my room

Here he will wait

Enter at your doom

He'll target the vulnerable

Injured or weak

On their feet all day

They're who he'll seek

Rolling shoulders back

Pushing plump chest out

Luring you in with that

Innocent pout

You decide you'll perch

For a moment, just that

Sinking into it's softened

Depths, then you're sat

The arms they curl

Wrapping you in comfort

Resigning yourself to him

No more will you exert

Now ignorantly resting

From within his grasp

Escape is impossible,

Hours do pass

Some people regard them

Without a care

Though I urge you

To beware the chair!
