The Table and the Chair

AID the Table to the Chair, can hardly be aware ९९ 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 ; A GOOD PLAY Andeverybody 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 a valley, They completely lost their way, Andwandered 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.
