Meal Ordeal Brevity

As I approached the doorway my heart went rat-a-tat-tat, Just thinking about stepping onto the old welcome mat. Because recently I ate way too much, and became too fat Which, unfortunately meant that I was worth looking at. So I planned on exercising in order to look more flat, By ignoring the world like a selfish brat, And once I made that decision, I stood pat. For if I didn’t I’d be the first one that goes splat, When scurrying out of the wall and getting caught by the cat! For the Brevity contest
