The Cat And The Mat

Hi, you’re probably expecting a rhyme that is like the cat on the mat is fat.
But why a fat cat or a mat?
I mean why not a hat with the rat that’s not fat that sat by a cat on no mat?
I know someone named Kat, but she’s not fat and does not sit on a mat.
At, bat, cat, fat, hat, mat, nat, pat, rat and sat.
They all end in an at, but who could be bothered with that.
I would rather be a cat that sat on a nice soft mat.
Now I hope you had fun, but this is a poem that is done.
