A doormat's always there when you need someplace to leave your messes
before someone gets into where they really want to go.
Where people trust to hide their keys, their secrets if you will:
but people don't miss doormats, it's utility they fill.
and
Bath towels are always there when you need something to dry your tresses
before someone gets into the clothes they really want to wear.
What people use to dry their faces, their tears if you will:
but people discard towels, it's utility they fill.
So here's to all the doormats and the towels on the floor. Though short of trendy or shallow welcomes, they're permanently overlooked decor. Doors will slam in faces, styles change throughout the years. Don't take for granted more reliable are the places where you clean your feet and wipe away your tears.
