 When I sat on it exerting my full weight; it squealed inaudibly permeating the

stillness of atmosphere with feverish cacophony, 
Nimbly revolving a few centimeters on the polished floor; eventually adjusting
disconcertingly to the situation.
 
When I poked it with a conglomerate of pointed needles; it let out silent gasps, 
The upholstery was now embedded with a plethora of incongruous holes; although
I could still spread my legs on it and sit.
 
When I emptied a barrel of fuming acid on it; it got severely butchered and uncouthly ripped apart, 
The spongy foam now buckled under the slightest of my caress; and people who
visited my cabin perceived it as a minor bomb blast.
 
When I tried standing erect on it swirling rampantly to blaring tunes diffusing from the CD systems; it initially complied with my desire, 
Although after a while I found myself adhering to the opposite wall of the room; as it had inevitably skidded and flung me like a discarded heap.
 
When I incorrigibly refrained to clean it; letting hordes of dust settle on its persona, 
I had to suffer unrelentingly from sporadic bouts of thunderous coughing; with
the minuscule particles entering my nose.
 
When I washed it with freezing water in winter castigating for disobeying my
command; it appeared forlorn and meek in the beginning, 
However when the next day I entered my office; there was a derogatory odor
intensely hovering in the air; also I saw a fleet of termite gnawing the soft wood with overwhelming relish.
 
When I endeavored to emboss script on its body; it incessantly rotated and shook; bouncing with gay abundance on its springs, 
Driving me wild beyond the threshold of definable frustration; and I finally gave up on my persevering effort.
 
When I kicked it in its rear; exerting tumultuous force with my bohemian feet, 
It placidly lay down topsy-turvy several paces further; and I had scrupulously
make sure whether all parts were intact; before relaxing on it again.
 
When I tried incinerating it; submerging it wholesomely in my left over alcohol; it caught flames which rose high and handsome towards the sky, 
All that was now left of it was charred ashes; which I consummately used to
sprinkle as manure over my plants.
But let me tell you folks; I had enjoyed it the most; supremely relished its
company for marathon hours on the trot, 
When I swung it tenaciously to and fro; with my feet languidly sprawled on the table; my eyes partially closed; and my rocking chair virtually putting my into a mystical slumber.
