Cry about table (5)
I believe the answer is:
bleat
'cry' is the definition.
(I know that bleat is a type of cry)
'about table' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'table' with letters rearranged gives 'BLEAT'.
(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Cry of sheep or goat" , "Beef" , "kid makes such a noise" , "carp" , "Sound like a sheep" .)
