Incident At Owl Inn A simple call placed to the authorities created panic Police and Fire vehicles speeding, crashing into each other Everything they could, in pursuit of the truth Hysterical hectic red sirens spinning out of control to Owl Inn Officers of the law drawing guns mercilessly in all directions One young cop shot his foot in his fervor to kill anything in sight The captain of the force, ugly breath, panting, takes the Inn in storm Grabs the manager close and begins his rant While fire department and police jump and gyrate uncontrollably about Proprietor Pepper was glowing with concern about the crime His dissertation was anything but calm or kind Room 209 was the subject at hand of something odious and grand A man called John was filthy guilty according to the manager Who could not continue speaking at this time But wrote a note about the incident while nearly collapsing Captain trembled as he read the message, turning pale and gray In his mind this was a crime of the highest magnitude Of malfeasance, impropriety, to perpetrate such nasty deeds The chambermaid was interrogated for hours She confessed to seeing the man from 209 but once She told detectives she had soap at home to wash her mind And screamed at them to leave her be in peace to cry Scientist, archaeologist and pharmacist were called in To measure every square inch of room and surrounding Inn Firemen chopped down the door of 209 to find the truth The captain of police made his announcement to the gathering The note of the proprietor was read aloud as follows “The occupant of room 209 stole 2 small hotel soaps and escaped into the night.” “We suspect he is from New Jersey.” Everyone was shocked, confused, did not know what to think or do What was the bigger crime; stealing hotel soap or being from New Jersey?
