Gracefully I rise up,
Whilst sitting in the chair.
I bought it for my dear wife
Who could not use the stair.
She is no longer with us
Lung cancer took it's toll
I kept it here for when I'm old
To maybe play a role.
I really shouldn't use it
The exercise does me good.
But I'm so often tempted,
After steak and kidney pud.
(That's if Midge hasn't pinched it first!)
That’s very good Don. Have a good day. Xxxxx
Well done Don it did make me smile. Have a good day.
Another brilliant ode. Brightened my day up.
That made me laugh, and I love the cartoon too.
Good one Don .....I'd say Midge is quite an intelligent dog ha ha xxx
Haha! That’s a good one, Don, picture and all! Don’t worry about the admin folks....a spoonful of sugar and all that! 😂🤗🤒 Penny x
Alas I have No Stairs. Just a happy Smile Looking at Midge using your Lovely Wife's Chair. Take it Slowly up those Stairs Don, and Breathe. xxxx
Great😂 Do you mean midge pinches the pud or the chair? Cx
She would do both given the chance. 🙄 She’s developing a bit of a weight problem.
Whose steak and pud do you recommend?
I'll wait until I've visited Katinka46 before I answer that, if you don't mind. 
I kept my Cecilia's electric chair in case i lose my puff
though i must admit the ride in it is really rather rough
Scruffy cat's now adopted it often using it for a bed
So now bereft of transport it's shanks pony for me instead
the moral of this story Don is pets often take the space
of places where our loved ones sat with charm and endless grace.
love Ski's and Scruff's xx
I say! How very nicely put Grasshopper. My hours of training you is finally paying off. 
i am studying hard Master Po,only another 100 yrs before i graduate. x
Nonsense young Grasshopper, I detect hidden talent there that merely needs a modicum of encouragement and includes a good line in 'tea and sympathy' which I'm told I sometime lack.
Brilliant skis ... i love your serious side but your cheeky side is also much loved and much needed on our site xxxx would love to see scruff's or is she a silent partner so to speak ha x
Quite a duo we have going on. Keep practising boys it makes happy reading. Jane.
Sneaky reference to S&T pudd....
The ball’s in your court, 24 hours notice...
Love

Say no more. 😀
Very good Don. My new secondhand stairlift is working well, getting more use than it should.
So funny Don ...it would make my day if my cat had the guts to get on my stairlift ha ...i have tried numerous times to get him to jump up on it but not a chance as he is frightened of his own shadow which is quite ironic realky with him being named shadow xxx so glad to see u back in business with your rhymes /poems you gave us all quite a scare last week xxxxx
I had a stairlift before we moved. I swear it was the clincher in the house sale, the little boy of the family had a couple of rides on it! He was most disappointed when he found that it wouldn’t be staying!

Wherever do you get the wonderful cartoons? Poem's great, though a bit sad too. xx Moy
Just by googling and choosing my search words carefully. I feel a bit guilty, but always leave the source information on them and share my rhymes by leaving them unlocked. I wish I could draw like others on here.
I'm sure the people who draw the cartoons would be happy to endorse their use on here, Don. I think it's wonderful how you manage to find something so appropriate always. This one gave me a good chuckle. I could just picture Midge having a lift! xx Moy
I must admit I sometimes bend the poem to match the image. 😊
Because your Clever Don. XXXX
