The Hotel

The Hotel Awakening this morning from a sleep so sound Shaking my head I had a look around Not recognizing the room I was in I wondered if I had committed a sin The sheets were satin and half on the floor One pillow was over by the far door There were no blankets that I could see On the bedside table lay a hotel key I picked up the key and read what it said Hotel Carver, Room 222, was what I read How did I get here and who was with me I looked for the bathroom for I had to wee I found my clothes hung over the chair After brushing my teeth I combed my hair Reaching the door I opened it wide Straightened my shoulders, I've nothing to hide Walked down the long hall and into the lobby I ran smack into a uniformed bobby 'Why hello miss', he said unto me I was looking all night and here's where you be Come along now I'm taking you home It's nights like last you shouldn't roam It was a full moon you know up in the sky And then you were missing. I guess that's why You forgot to take your pills last night You gave us all a terrible fright When you went wandering out into the night We thought some poor bloak you might bite I looked at him and he had a big smile He was kidding with me all the while Nevertheless when the moon is high in the sky I'm not leaving the house 'til morning is nigh copyright © Lila May Guptill (AKA) Lunaria All my poetry, art and other writings are all legally ©Copyrighted before posting.
