The poem "At Table" by Gelett Burgess describes a scene of people eating at a table and the various sounds they make while doing so. The speaker observes that each person has their own unique way of eating, from the quiet chewer to the loud slurper. Despite these differences, everyone is united in their enjoyment of food.
