Maybe They’ll Keep the Light On?


He checked into his hotel room,
to get a good night’s sleep.
The air smelled like a skunk’s perfume
and dust was layered deep.

The shower water did not heat.
The toilet would not flush.
The bed had crumbs beneath the sheet.
The fridge was full of slush.

He argued for a full refund.
The clerk said, “Just trust us.”
They charged him twice and left him stunned:
A case of inn justice.
