They came to the table and sat down

 

The two of them talked and laughed 

 

But soon those two became three

 

As a babbling baby joined them

 

The three of them talked and laughed

 

But soon those three became four 

 

As another baby joined them

 

The four of them talked and laughed

 

But soon there came an uncomfortable silence

 

In that silence anger and hatred grew between the first two table guests

 

Those to two would scream and fight

 

While the other two would cry and wail

 

And soon the four became three

 

It was silent was more as the three grieved

 

It’s been a little hard for them to go back to how it was

 

Slowly but surely, they started to talk to each other a little more 

 

And I hope soon they’ll be learn to talk and laugh like they did before sitting at the table
