The term "Chair" - Is interesting In chairs you however, repose, - Therefore then why the word "chair" The working place is thus named? The chair stands - an angel is on it, or a beast? How can I manage keeping my own chair! It is pleasant, if You sit on the chair - It does not contradict, And choosing a chair - is also flattering, - But often - the chair chooses. I must try the one responsible to listen to, In order to proceed adequately to the chair.
