Mabel, sit at the table,
a place has been set for you;
dine with me, have some tea
perhaps a plate of stew?
Rabbit pie you must try
a morsel, just a bit?
a fresh caught bird, now unheard,
has had its' final flit!
De at dverse poets has prompted us to write a 44 word quadrille, which must include some form of the word 'place'.

I smiled then scrolled down and saw the cat and I really smiled!! Well done.
