The Old Dining Table

It's round
So that everyone has the same width of view
It's round 
So that everyone has the same position and plight 
It's round 
So that everyone is as close as the others
It's round 
So that everyone can take turn to speak 
Like the turning disc at the centre of the dining table
It's round 
So that an unanimous conclusion is reached 
And a happy family is formed 
Like the shape of the table 
At a reunion dinner
If not in the meeting room of an office
