The Table And The Chair
Edward Lear
I Said the Table to the Chair, ‘You can hardly be aware, ‘How I suffer from the heat, ‘And from chilblains on my feet! ‘If we took a little walk, ‘We might have a little talk! ‘Pray let us take the air!’ Said the Table to the Chair. II Said the Chair to the table, ‘Now you know we are not able! ‘How foolishly you talk, ‘When you know we cannot walk!’ Said the Table with a sigh, ‘It can do no harm to try, ‘I’ve as many legs as you, ‘Why can’t we walk on two?’ III So they both went slowly down, And walked about the town With a cheerful bumpy sound, As they toddled round and round. And everybody cried, As they hastened to the side, ‘See! the Table and the Chair ‘Have come out to take the air!’
