The Motel Room

A COUGH, A SNEEZE, AND A FART
COULD BE HEARD THROUGH THE WALLS
THE TELEVISION BLARED ALL NIGHT
YOU COULD HEAR WHEN NATURE CALLED

THE MOTEL WAS TOUTED HIGHLY RATED
BUT THIS I TEND TO DISAGREE
WITH UNSWEPT FLOORS, SHABBY DECOR
I WONDER, WILL BED BUGS BITE ME?    

IT’S NOT THE NEIGHBORS FAULT
THAT THE WALLS ARE PAPER THIN
THEY PAID THE PRICE JUST LIKE ME
I CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR DIN

SO, A SLEEPLESS NIGHT AWAITS ME
TOMORROW I’LL PROBABLY BE A GRUMP
WATERY EGGS AND GREASY BACON
ADDS TO THE MISERY OF THIS DUMP!

GOING ON VACATION CAN BE A TRIAL
BOOKING MOTEL ROOMS SIGHT UNSEEN
IT’S NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH PATRON
EXPECTING THE ROOM SPOTLESS CLEAN

SO, PACK EAR PLUGS AND FLIP FLOPS
AND PLENTY OF DISINFECTANT WIPES
DON’T SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS TOO HIGH
IF YOU DO YOU’RE GONNA GRIPE!!!

This actually happened to me.  I just recently returned from vacation and one night was exactly as the above. Really tries one’s patience!
