What Would a Table Say

What would a table say
     If a table could talk

Would it speak of silk linens
    Quiet dinners for two
Of romance and candles
     Fine china of blue

Would it spin tales of sorrow
     Of bills left unpaid
Of not enough food
     Of prayers left unprayed

I think of all that 
      I think as I walk
What would a table say
     If a table could talk
