Stair Lift

Stair Lift

My daughter said to me one day,  when she and husband came to stay
‘Dad’s none too steady on the stairs – one day they’ll  catch him unawares
and he could have a nasty fall doing himself no good at all —
Nor you, if following on behind.  You’d get squished — flat womankind!

So, no sooner said than done, the installation work begun.
Two hefty lads came next day, screwed and hammered as at play.
We watched agog, by now enthralled as our new Stairlift was installed.
and now we’re gliding up and down, smiling broadly, ne’er a frown.

On laundry days, shirts galore, towels, socks and so much more
Are piled on chair  and set in motion and ‘Babe on board’
comes the call to He who waits down in the hall.
Reverse procedure when clean and dry to She who’s waiting up on high!

Sailing north in Stately style, face aglow with senile smile
Cobweb brush finds webs unseen -the ceiling now is squeaky clean !
And husband gives a regal wave as he ascends to have a shave.
What a joy, uses galore, we should have had one long before!!

No more worry
All so easy.  Peace of mind.
Get a Stairlift —!!!
