Half Sunken Table

An old octagon table
  with a laminated press board top
Left outside it may soon rot
  legs of steel make it heavy
Lifting it alone not quite able
  dragged it out the back door into the mud
For rest sat on it with a thud
  steel legs sank deep into the soft ground
Now a bench on display
  for in the back yard it now stays
Still should move it not really an excuse
  but it is a nice place to roost.
