Story of a Doormat


I am a doormat, stretched on the floor,

Awaiting feet to stomp to my door,

Muddy, bedraggled, they come in rows,

To clean up and freshen, then off they go;

Mat they forget, when safe and secure,

When I am not needed, they simply ignore.

Forever on threshold I lie prone,

Gathering dust, ne'er find a home,

My heart they thrash to beat out clods,

They put me back with pokes and prods.
