The Stair Lift.

I was climbing up the stairs,

The lift I did not use.

Because I need the exercise,

Some weight I need to lose.

Besides the lift goes up so slow,

By the time I reach the top,

I've forgotten what I going for,

When at the top I've got.

And it always happens,

When I'm only half way up,

The blessed front door bell rings,

And the thing won't giddy up.

By the time I finally get there,

There's no one at the door,

A red note from the postman,

Is lying on the floor!

Right now it's more a nuisance,

It's gets right in my way.

And when my nephew's kids come round,

On it they want to play.

I bought it for my Missus

Who was poorly at the time.

But I'm sure that in the future

I'll be glad that now it's mine.

Hi Don you should get your poems published

[Hidden in reply to Time_2_drink]

I do Margaret, on here to all my friends. Reading that it makes some smile or even laugh sometimes, is enough for me. 🤡

[Time_2_drink]

You can certainly put a smile on faces Don

[jabber]

I'm smiling Don I'm sure all of us with stairlifts can identify with your ode. I wish they had a go-faster button too - but then you'd never get the children off it

Everyone's a winner..... keep it up Don, cheers me up to read them xxxx

[peege]

Haha, do you use it for carrying stuff? IE the laundry, a cup of tea, breakfast to take back to bed? 😜

[Hidden]

I do use it for heavy stuff like furniture, TV, bedding and sometimes I just enjoy the ride. No breakfast in bed though, I did consider a teasmade, but once up I never go back these days. 😇
