Poem- Easy Chair (To Paul)

Easy Chair
By Edith Hendry
To my husband, Paul

Give me the daily papers to her he said
I want to read a little before I go to bed
He settled down in his easy chair
To read the funnies and forget all care
She watched him read and knew by his pose
Twouldn’t be long fore he’d begin to doze
One eye went shut and opened again
To read the papers he tried in vain
For both eyes now were blinking fast
Through “Mickey Mouse” he’d never last
At last he surrendered to Morpheus nooze
And settled down for a nice long snooze
