Terraceless

Some hotels have terraces. Some hotels do not; But I'm a guest at one That's at an in-between those spot. There clearly is a terrace That was built outside my room And every other room as well - That's what you would assume. But all the railings were removed, The sliding doors sealed shut; 'Cause if you stepped outside and fell, You'd win your lawsuit - but... I wonder why the rails are gone. What problem was addressed? A hurricane, an earthquake Or a suicidal guest? The fact is, though, that jutting floor Is like a little tease And worst of all, I can't enjoy The breath of any breeze. So Mr. Marriott, I think This place needs a revision. To be or not to be a terrace - That is your decision.
