The Table and the Chair (1)

The Table and the Chair (1)

 
　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 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,
 "I can do no harm to try;
 " I 've as many legs as you,
 " Why can't we  walk on two ? "
