I was told to fix a broken chair

But the chair was put somewhere

It is an antique one very special

Owner refuses to discard his treasure

He called me on phone yesterday “hello”

What he said were as what I wrote below :

“One of the legs is gone, please assist

Fix it with a new one, same one exactly

It’s a very unique chair which everyone loves

Although this chair don’t serves much purpose

This chair is just outside my office building

I need not show you as it is easily seen”

I search for that broken chair low and high

But I just could not find it and I wonder why

The weather is hot and I need a shelter to cool

Thanks God there is one shelter made of wood

Under the shelter I find something not right

One of the pillars is broken, left only three sides

Better go, the wooden shelter may collapse anytime

I continue to search for the chair under the hot sun

Finally I give up the idea of repairing this broken chair

Decline the deal,since that chair is disappearing to nowhere

To fix the broken chair is not a worthwhile task after all

I advise the chair owner to buy one at the furniture store
