Time to sit

Sitting on a cardboard box

It's contents thirty pieces

Of ironstone from county Staffs

Won't you buy one for your nieces?

The other day it was a box

Of pans on which I sat

But I have news to tell you

I managed to sell that

 

I fancied once to try and perch

Upon a box of trains

They're toy ones of course you know

And won't go if it rains

A pressure cooker makes a seat

That's small and rather lumpy

The trouble is when you get up

Your bottoms gone all bumpy

A coffee set, white clad in blue

Has made the best chair yet

It doesn't crush up quite so much

So the punters aren't upset.
