Said the Table to the Bear

Said the Table to the Bear,

I hope you are aware

Every day I get very bored

Oh! I wish I could walk on the road.

Oh! But my dear Table,

On you always there’s an Aesop’s Fable

Why don’t you read it all day?

From Sunday to Saturday.

Oh well Bear! I have read

How many times! That’s hundred!

Bored I get every day!

Give me a solution,

I’ll do as you say.

If you get bored every day,

Together we can play,

Then you will be happy

Oh Table! You will smile with glee.

Well Bear, what can we play?

I stay hear all day!

I hope you know, I can’t run

So, playing with me will not be fun!

Well Table, Aren’t you brainy!

Why can’t we play Anthakshari?

Then the Table never complained

And Anthakshari they always played.
