We gather at the table<\/p>\n
For many different things<\/p>\n
To play board games with family<\/p>\n
To discuss plans and dreams<\/p>\n
A table can be featured<\/p>\n
In a variety of places<\/p>\n
The kitchen, the patio,<\/p>\n
And the dining space<\/p>\n
What would a restaurant be<\/p>\n
If no table were in sight?<\/p>\n
No rounds, no squares,<\/p>\n
It would certainly change the hype<\/p>\n
Like, where would you tell<\/p>\n
Your friends to meet you<\/p>\n
And where would the waiters<\/p>\n
Come to greet you?<\/p>\n
Tables can be celebrated<\/p>\n
While empty or full<\/p>\n
Paired best with chairs<\/p>\n
And favorite FOODS.<\/p>\n
