If your dining room walls could talk \u2013<\/span>
\nmy goodness, just what would they say?<\/span><\/p>\n

Would they tell on your kids<\/span>
\nfor spilling that grape juice or<\/span>
\nyour pets for once<\/span>
\npeeing in the plant?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Would they speak of the couple<\/span>
\nthat hid there to whisper \u2013 nothing<\/span>
\nnasty, just a sweet word<\/span>
\nor two \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Would they speak of the uncle<\/span>
\nthat\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0say things nasty \u2013 would<\/span>
\nthey forgive him because he<\/span>
\nwas drunk?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Would they remember the<\/span>
\nholidays, the yule log at<\/span>
\nChristmas, the turkey on<\/span>
\nThanksgiving and that<\/span>
\nbarley from Aunt Grace?<\/span><\/p>\n

Would they remember the<\/span>
\nholidays, the birthdays<\/span>
\nwith toddlers, that wax<\/span>
\non the carpet, that<\/span>
\nchocolate cake face?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Would your walls be quite<\/span>
\nsullen as they\u2019ve been long<\/span>
\nbeen ignored \u2013 with shabby<\/span>
\npaper, old hand\u00a0prints, sad<\/span>
\npaint?<\/span><\/p>\n

Would your walls be quite<\/span>
\nmad from the stuff they\u2019re<\/span>
\nstuck surrounding \u2013 the\u00a0table,<\/span>
\nchairs and fixtures that\u00a0<\/span>
\nhave seen\u00a0better days?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe good ole days were good,\u201d<\/span>
\nyour walls might just say, \u201cbut<\/span>
\nget with it, let\u2019s spruce up this<\/span>
\nplace!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You walls would call for<\/span>
\ncolor \u2013 or beige, if they\u2019re<\/span>
\nshy \u2013 or new paper, if<\/span>
\nthey\u2019re fancy or<\/span>
\nloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

They need a new table,<\/span>
\nrather gorgeous and stable,<\/span>
\nfor new memories and<\/span>
\ngossip to surround.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019d cry for fresh<\/span>
\nchairs\u00a0\u2013 to go with the<\/span>
\ntable \u2013 and those fixtures?\u00a0<\/span>
\nPlease put them\u00a0in the<\/span>
\nground.<\/span><\/p>\n
