On the Table

There's a table in my kitchen Near the pantry I wrote about. It holds up mail and a fat glass lady, If you miss something, give a shout. "Where is my hat?" there is a call, "It's on the table" the reply. "Where is my lunch?" echos the wall; "It's on the table - now goodbye!" There may be car or house keys there, And light globes in a pack, A book bright red in progress, A mystery in a sack. The table's age is about 40, It has seen more projects than food. But it is clothed with family memories, And discreetly hides its mood.
