Your library table you’ll want to keep smooth,And free of all scratches from books;Make a scarf then of velvet or linen or felt,And see how attractive it looks.You can, if you wish, hem both of the ends,And embroider or stencil them, too;Then, if across the table you lay it,The top will keep shiny and new.
