New Chair

I requested a new office chair
The old one cramped my knees
So, I asked for it to be replaced
Can I have a new one please?
It arrived in a carton
The carton was quite small
And when I looked inside the box
There wasn’t much at all.
A spindly kind of construction
Aluminium with a small seat
It needed the right surroundings
Like in a bird cage it would be neat.
I’m a rather burly person
The chair was far too small
When I sat upon the chair
You could not see it all.
Only the four legs were visible
With my two on the floor
I looked like a robot spider
So I threw it out the door.
