Who cars if I'm a little fat!
Not prone to be anybody's doormat!...

Wipe the "doormat" off my head
Learn to love myself.

Laugh At Dumb Doormat

Looks like people like to laugh at,
Trump who is plump and also fat;
Often sneered;
Always  weird;
Did become dumber than doormat.

Drop your key
when you leave
and step on me
so I don't grieve.

I just tried
to keep dirt
off of your hide,
but you don't hurt

as I do
on the ground:
one of the few
who won't form sound....

The welcome on my doormat has faded
And it is your shoes that have worn it
I think my door is locked forever
But I hold out for someone to break through my window
Using the front door is so overrated...

Must Mention Each Ration of Compassion

About Trump are things we must mention;
Definitely has been big bone of contention,
And nibbled at,
A dumb doormat,
While many problems exist with retention.

Trust me
I'll hurt you
I'll break you
I'll make you look like a fool
I'll crush you
I'll burn you
I'll make you my stepping stool
I'll lie to you
I'll tell you the truth
You'll be my doormat
I'll make you crumble
I'll make a mess of you
You can trust me on that...

October doormat  I have been unenduring
Hear my heartbeat
Raindrops falling
Jack frost appearing
Old man laying out his laundry
Sometimes I feel so low
Where are my ideals?
Purring love down purring throats
without loves strength
without loves foible loaves...

Rat-a-tat-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
Kittycat Kittycat
Scat by the doormat
Where are you at
Are you some funny acrobat
Eager for playful combat
Flat on your back throwing a savate
And why do you like to hide in my hat

There was muck at your 
doormat.Would you call
the Nemesis to clear the mess ?

*

You have given me 
the last pair of shoes.
I will walk in them 
to the house of death.

*

This day, I had kissed you
O moon, under the reeds.
Till now the music 
is alive.

No, my mother Atheist said,
Long live cricket, God is dead,
Debbie Downer's Nihilist thoughts,
Total negativity she taught,
This is Debbie Downer' doormat daughter,
Saturday sportsmen off to the slaughter,
Yes, God is dead,
Long live extreme sports,
That's what negative Norma said....

Wash the dishes?
One wishes that
fishes had hands

Brush the doormat?
If the cat could
do that, would it?

I doubt the dog
cleans the bog, 'coz
the clog's still there

Takes a woman
and dust pan, spick
and span again.

Heaven’s doormat scribes our birthnames,
woven from fine wicker,
oblivious to sins or fame;
holy entrance richer.

Designed to cleanse our feet,
past relatives we meet;
entering, angels greet.

Jesus will chat.
Heaven’s doormat.

I’d love to sit on a big leather chair,
And smoke a fat Cuban cigar.
And own a Monet,
And a little chalet,
And drive a red hot Jaguar.

But, alas, here I sit on an old wooden bench,
Sucking a ciggy filled with tar.
And my art's on a doormat,
In a cheap council flat,
And I drive an old rusted car....

"The door kisses the window poor doormat cringes"
                             The poet stops his pen and his toad wife binges
                                         On ants flies and ice-cream
                                             Poet begins to dream
                           But on her next scheme his whole poetry hinges...

Hurt Heart which Was Torn Apart

when I hurt my heart
no longer love from the start
will brake and tear apart

current heart has to do
go ahead and drink a few
trouble about to brew

adjust my thermostat
what we knew right off the bat
will buy cat named Pat

when dumber than doormat
had my hat hangingg from thermostat
while being a big brat...

The room is hot 
But the floor is cold
The still thick air 
Makes me wheeze like I'm old
My feet are frozen to the floor
It's a cool relief
From the air of mold
The stretching odor
So potent and strong
Makes me wretch and fall
This energy of mine is almost gone
Alone and cold now on the floor
I'm here like a doormat
Won't someone open the door?...

So, I'm starting over again,
Why is this thought in my brain,
That patterns repeat for everyone,
For me, good men appear to be none,
Control freaks take a sweet witch,
And turn her into a right bitch,
You can't please bullies, let's say,
I suppose I'll learn that one day,
This pattern long held in my brain,
Being a doormat is a drain!
So, I'm starting over again....

Romancing Neptune
had an
amorous wish.
The body is water.
Take it,
split it,
and then become a doormat.

Blocking the fiesta,
a ghost brings in
storm, in a glass.
Will you drink the moon
in night ?

The street now walks in,
taking a call to kill the shades,
of wrinkles. You forgot
your name and move
gingerly from post to post
lightening the lamps.
