I Am The Chair Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

I am in Odessa on the main street

On a pedestal I overtop

A lot of people I meet and greet

Their asses on me they drop.



A chair made of bronze!

Have you ever heard of that?

The other chairs are pawns.

With them I ignore to chat.



Every day I’m admired,

Became a hero of the day

I’d love to say I’m never tired

And never wish to hit the hay.



Why am I so famous? -one might ask.

The treasures were hidden in my seat.

To find them was not an easy task

As I was one out of 12 and no cheat.



The first of April is today,

A Humorina in Odessa-city

A sunny day! A funny day!

And all around look so pretty!



Humor is in the City Garden,

Laugh and joy are on the streets!

Someone said: I beg your pardon

If my voice a bit of bleats.



You can sit on me and take a picture,

So that to fix that beautiful moment.

It will be for life the best capture

For your offspring the best comment.



The best music I’ve heard today,

Different orchestras I did enjoyed.

More then that - I would like to say:

Some … got rid of the hemorrhoid.



Laughing so much together with men

I know for sure what health improves.

Come and sit on me again.

And your troubles my seat removes.



I would like every day to be like that.

Listening to music, laughter and jokes,

Being jazzed by funny acts, let’s bet,

Your life prolongs and love evokes.



If I had a mouth I would say:

It was really the greatest day!

The day of different adventures

And all people were not strangers.
