    It was sad, but Harvey knew that the only thing you could do for a chair with a broken leg was to put it down.

    Joseph’s wife had to nag to convince / him; he didn’t respond to her hints. / Since the broken leg snapped, / his endurance was sapped, / so he cut up a chair to make splints. /// “You big fool!” the wife screamed in despair, / (after which she proceeded to swear). / “Your bone fracture will mend, / (though you’ll limp in the end). / It’s that chair you were paid to repair.”

    Danial figured if he just glued this random piece of wood to the leg, it would be just fine.

    Everyone had considered the chair / to be damaged beyond repair /but a chair that’s so fair/ surely warrants repair/ as Harvey is well aware .///Harvey’s known for his excellent care/ (To question him no one would dare)/ so never despair/ when Harvey is there / but for Harvey’s Invoices…prepare !

    Having accidentally glued both of his hands to the chair’s legs, Wilfred managed to partially free one of them. But was it enough to enable him to use the toilet?

    When furniture repair failed, he decided to go into orthopedics. His friends’ advice remained the same.

    That chair was already shot/further violence it needed not/ but Harvey’s a brute/ who sure likes to shoot/ he likes it an awful lot///but back to the fate of the chair/(which in fact was beyond repair)/it’s found a new life/ thanks to marital strife:/ there are splinters in Harvey’s wife’s hair../ but you know she will win in the end/ for his soup has an arsenic blend/ and she’ll buy a new chair/ and contentedly stare/ drinking wine – while she plays solitaire…

    Viewing several pieces of the broken chair leg, Leslie had a sudden inspiration. He would not glue the pieces together, but would instead polish and pile them atop one another in an interlocking pattern. Thus was born the parlor game that would eclipse “Twister.” Leslie called it ”Jenga Chair.”

    I told her if she kept sitting there day after day playing marble solitaire that she would break the chair! Now, I guess, she’ll have to sit on the floor to keep playing.

    If he continued to cut down the legs, Harvey thought, this might make the new seat for his gokart in the next Shriners’ parade.
