Summer is a time for relaxing, and we all better lean back. Here is Ivor Cutler on chairs and stools. The poem is in "A Flat Man" (1977) and on the record "Dandruff" (1974).
Lean
People lean back in
chairs.
But only
if the chair
has a back
to stop them leaning
back.
Backless chairs -
or stools
as we call them -
are suitable
only for leaning
forward -
or sitting bolt upright.
You would think that
people who really wanted to lean
back
would use
a stool.
