I like using table mats
And I like them to be colorful
As they add color to the drab brown of my table
Prevents the dishes from harming the surface
Gives us a sense of where we should be sitting
I love my colorful table and place mats!

I’m sorry that this is just an inane poem and I couldn’t think of anything else to write!

Your prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “mat/met/mitt/mot/mutt.”Choose one or use them all, any way you’d like in your post. Have fun!

I grew up having table mats. It’s strange sometimes when there’s none

Beautiful poetry on the place markers. You elevated to perfection what is often overlooked.
It was not lost on me that your thoughtful poem could well be a metaphor/ comment on one’s own place in the grand schema of things. Brava!

Every table mat should be in its place and there should be a place for every table mat.

I like using tablemats too which is surprising because as a kid we didn’t have tablemats. But I have enjoyed using differnt designs as an adult.

Same here. It saves the wood, it’s more practical and livens up the dining experience

Yes, it can certainly liven or relax the dining experience, depending on the tablemats being used. They are certainly practical.
Mine are currently easy on the eye and so relaxing for me right now. But whenever they need replacing, I may go for something bright and bold.

Yes you’re very right. Mine are like a soothing fawn/ grey but on a dark brown surface they look nice.

Mine are a grey pattern on a white background. My table is white that they are on.
