SEATS OF THE FLIGHTY: THE FOURTH CHAIR by FAIRFAX DOWNEY

First Line: A CHAIR AGAINST A BALLROOM WALL
Last Line: BUT NONE AT A DANCE FOR ME!
Subject(s): CHAIRS; DANCING & DANCERS;
A chair against a ballroom wall --
Oh, that's no place for me,
For sitting down's no mark at all
Of popularity.

@3I like to sit in a big game seat,
Or a steamer chair at sea,
Or a chair for a bob in a barber shop,
But none at a dance for me!@1
