The Kitchen Table

The Kitchen Table

True stories are told
And secrets are sold
Around the kitchen table.

No room for lies
Or for alibis
Around the kitchen table.

Sermons are permitted
About sins committed
Around the kitchen table.

The aroma of food
Heightens the mood
Around the kitchen table.

Dish out the dinner,
This time it's a winner
Around the kitchen table.

When the plates are all clean
True joy can be seen
Around the kitchen table.

The talk remains light
Until late at night
Around the kitchen table.

The relived memories
Are colorful tapestries
Around the kitchen table.

Til the time is right,
And we say good-night
Around the kitchen table.
