ON THE CARPET

Now here is an item that in poetry does not get attention!
Therefore I shall try to praise it with great apprehension.
This is something that gets stepped on without much care-
it serves anyone without distinction- just because it is there.

They used to roll it out for kings or other very noble creatures,
it's softness and beautiful desings were the most noted features.
You throw in the carpet when of anything you had enough,
to be called on the carpet means you can't get away with a bluff.

Far away Persia was the place where they were carefully created,
they leant beauty to many drab places-that is really not overstated.
Made by artisans and woven carefully on a handmade loom:
it rerely happens now, modern carpet factories spedded their doom

The older they get, the more valuable are these handwoven pieces-
some are hanging in museums, their appearance many people pleases.
So, let us step carefully and appreciate the service they provide-
they will keep serving you well, can point to them with much pride.
