Cat clawed, dog gnawed the bottom of the chair,
didn't matter one iota - we would always find her there
Cushions knitted, armslips fitted, back adjusting foam,
didn't like it one iota - huffed to leave it well alone
Change position, wrong decision, window watching faith,
didn't like it one iota - if moved an inch from viewing place
Crumbs go tumbling, side seam fumbling, lost the bloody thing....
didn't like it one iota - so just tied it to a string
Careless chaffing, endless laughing, moulded tush and head,
didn't like it one iota - taping leather if it shred.
Cold breezes, cough and wheezes, tended in the chair,
didn't like it one iota - that old cross she had to bear
Children singing, daughter winging in and out the room,
didn't like it one iota - but she was gone a seat too soon
Chair gracing, there's she's waiting, can't you see her still?
Didn't like it one iota - and God we know she never will!!
