The Chair

Come my friend and rest awhile
Let me take the strain
Contemplate man’s humanity
Before I boil your brain

That's what my dealer used to say to me Cari. It was okay until the Elmer's gave way. At his prices you'd think he could afford better for his clientele.  

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Is it an electric chair?
Naw, that isn't right, because electric chairs have nothing to do with humanity, more like beastiality.
I'll keep on guessing.

It is the electric chair. Where is there humanity in the gruesome execution, sometimes 10 or 12 years after the alleged crime took place?

I knew that, just being sarcastic. Hope English people like that, as well as satire..

Thanks for the post.
