Away In A Motel Room..... [friends; Motel; Short; Humor]



Karl was stuck for one night in a cheap motel room,
due to unexpected stop in a city with a tourist boom.
The hotels were all full. The airport lounge was tempting,
but wife's insistence on a bed, Karl's thought was preempting.

Now the price Karl liked: $29.95 for one night;
it even had hot water, if the timing was right.
Three of four light switches actually did work,
but the toilet did have an unfortunate quirk.
When he used too much paper, it didn't all go down,
but at least he had a place for the roaches to drown.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
this might be like my friend Karl, but the story is bogus. he DID relate to me recently a 'horror story' of airline delays, resulting in an unexpected overnight stay. i heard/saw an old (that means older than i am by a few years) woman playing the religious x-mas tune on an organ at the community center the other day when i stopped in to weigh myself. it was nice....the music that is.

(to the tune of ‘Away In A Manger')

(I would go on but I wrote this for my friend Karl and he prefers short OR NO poems.)

a cheap motel room, or sleeping in a tent or a car washing by the river, is a weather wise decision
