Acrostics for Carpet

CARPET
Completely unaware of the status of the floor,
A howling freezing gale blowing underneath the door,
Reacting - as I realised while I climbed terrazzo stairs,
Perhaps some carpet slippers should be added to my wares,
Except that in Morocco – bare-footedness indoors,
Thereby eradicates the need to hoover all the floors.

Charismatic figures like
Aladdin and Ali Baba
Really put the rugwork on the map, so to speak.
Patterned wool, attractively dyed,
Everybody's favourite floor-covering,
Takes you places - but only if you know the magic word.

Cesar loves to take a ride
And be chauffeured here and there
Royally he sits by my side
Purring, meowing. People stare.
Eyes unblinking he looks out.
Then makes me go and buy a trout.
Pretending it was a compound noun.
