Hotel Lobby

Hotel Lobby To be in a lobby is oh such a shame, Lonely and troubled it’s all such a game, Suits and stubble typing like pawns, Fed to the lions before going cold. Success in their minds with a stench of despair, As they desperately struggle to sustain a soul. Battered and worn with the internet scorned, Corporate specials are oh such a bore. Stiffly dressed, there’s nowhere to hide, A pint at the bar is a stretched slide. Universal wallpaper from the hotel land surrounds every painting that’s oh so bland. Laptop in hand they now must run, Pretending to be busy is all part of the fun. The starch duvet awaits and morning will come, Lies must be told and dirty deals done. The significant shudder of newspaper pages echo the sterile breakfast tables, Days of ignominy will consistently need snippets of stories to spin the reels.
