About This Poem

No Tell Motel

There's a no tell motel
Just up the road a bit
It cherishes its secrets
Like a horse chomps on its bits

The rooms are small and squallid
With a queen size mattress strewn
Across the age worn carpet
That has stories to exhume

The walls have needed painting
Some twenty years or more
But dingy is as dingy does
The guests don't ask for more

And that wall mounted television
No antenna there for years
But movies still play on demand
They don't star Richard Gere

That old man at the counter
He's leering at some folks
But twenty's buys his silence
For all us respectable folks.
