What would a park bench say if it could talk?, by Heather Pitchford
In my life many people have come and sat on me,
Unfortunately I can’t talk,
But if I could I would say:
“Go on, go on,”
I would say to a nervous lover about to propose,
“Just ask her, ask her!”
“Don’t worry, I’m here,”
I would say to someone with nowhere to go,
“Just rest on me, I don’t mind.”
“Please don’t spill that drink on me,”
I would say to a business man on his lunch break,
“That looks like a nice sandwich.”
“Keep calm; you won’t forget your lines,”
I would say to someone about to go on stage at the Theatre Royal,
“Just go out there and perform.”
“It’s a nice spot you chose here,”
I would say to a family sightseeing,
“I would recommend Clifford’s Tower next.”
Or you could just stay a little longer!
