"You may ask: This? In an art museum?

I’d say, respect your [very old] elders- they crafted me artfully! And yet, I’m forever useful

A subtle luxury for my friends, abundance and lethargy.

To think, I started my journey so small- almost 400 years, and I’m all carved grown up!

All those years I’ve rushed to weave comfort into the lives of so many!

I’ve travelled from Norwich to Roxbury with legs I’ve never walked

Carried Robert and Dorothy with a back I’ve never broke, and arms I never got!

Nowadays, I only sit pretty, enticing your weary legs and curious fingertips for cruel fun"
