old rusty chair
all day you spend
rusting there
and you never find relief
paint chips off your tired arms
and your legs are bare, no hiding

old rusty chair
your friends have all since left you
you leave a lasting copper colored mark,
such an impression on your vi-sitors

but old rusty chair
i love to see you sitting there
and years gone by i’ve seen your wear
and yet there’s something so inviting
about a chair who’s seen the times and the people all a-changing
