Welcome Matt
Matt the mat laid 'round all day
But he had important roles to play
Like welcoming guests as they came to call
He showed no restraint, he'd welcome them all
"Welcome!" said the friendly welcoming Matt
"Come wipe off your shoes and then hang your hat
You'll see that this house is quite at your service
Just visit our coat rack (his name is Jervis)"
And so folks would come and they'd do just that
They felt so at home, 'cause of dear Welcome Matt
