Getting the Chair

With no rear end in sight for it,
and this wasn't any shocker,
the chair just up and hung itself
(or maybe fell off its rocker?)

Its owner found it swinging loudly
the maid came in and shrieked
"You smothered that poor chair you brute
here’s my notice of two weeks!"

She called the cops to come get him
they rushed in pointing guns
but soon he was acquitted from
the ring around his buns

"For at the time the chair expired,"
the owner’s explanation,
"I was sitting on the can you see
I didn’t cause the strangulation"

The owner was relieved to leave
twas too much of a scare
till he found the punishment was
getting an electric chair!

::laughs:: that's awesome! Only criticism is that the last bit was a little akwardly worded, had to reread the last few lines to get the full effect, but wonderful, wonderful! Thanks for the amusement.

ROFL, Walt....

She called the cops to come get him
they rushed in pointing guns
but soon he was acquitted from
the ring around his buns

HaHaHa........
