The
Table And The Chair
I
Said the Table
to the Chair,
‘You can hardly be aware,
‘How I suffer from the heat,
‘And from chilblains on my feet!
‘If we
took a little walk,
‘We might have a little talk!
‘Pray let us take the air!’
Said the Table
to the Chair.
II
Said the Chair
to the table,
‘Now you know we are not able!
‘How foolishly you talk,
‘When you know we cannot walk!’
Said the Table
with a sigh,
‘It can do no harm to try,
‘I’ve as many legs
as you,
‘Why can’t we walk on two?’
III
So they both went slowly down,
And
walked about the town
With a cheerful
bumpy sound,
As they toddled
round and round.
And everybody cried,
As they hastened to the side,
‘See! the Table
and the Chair
‘Have come out to take the air!’

Haha!....We happened upon that chair and table when we went for a walk in the Heath on a recent trip to London. The Heath is a public park that is much more wild and natural than parks in the US. The location is in a little valley of the Heath, so you the piece really sneaks up on it (in its largeness) What a great surprise! It is *seriously* tall.. about 7 stories... and from what I could tell, made of plywood with a concrete base.
