Sitting thinking of these three chairs
I know you may be unaware
of the village where they are preserved
in memory of the cause they served
when townsfolk in religious zeal
who on Sundays before the altar kneel
then look for those who still relied
on portents by nature prophesied
the expected harvest, weather warm or cool
would be subject to, “The ducking stool.”

Well done, you. Never thought of them as ducking stools!
