The cat sat on the mat

[cvanshelton]

The cat
sat
on the mat
where my guinea pig, Percy
thought 'sabre toothed tiger'
and wheeked for mercy
as climbers on the Nordwand
beseech gods on the Eiger.
In the end unnecessary
for the clown
had sat down 
for a nap.

You nailed it! What more can be said? Just...you need to make me care about it.
