Edward Lear - The Table And The ChairEdward Lear - The Table And The Chair
Work rating: Low


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. Said the Chair unto 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?` 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 their side, `See! the Table and the Chair Have come out to take the air!` But, in going down an alley To a castle in the valley, They completely lost their way, And wandered all the day Till, to see them safely back, They paid a Ducky-quack, And a Beetle, and a Mouse, Who took them to their house. Then they whispered to each other, `O delightful little brother! What a lovely walk we`ve taken! Let us dine on Beans and Bacon!` So the Ducky and the leetle Browny-Mousy and the Beetle Dined, and danced upon their heads Till they toddled to their beds.
