Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Lousy Hotel

A LOUSY HOTEL

Son went to his hotel room after a delicious lunch
When he opened the door there was a loud crunch
There were huge cockroaches crawling over the floor
He grabbed his bags and ran straight out of the door

This cockroach infestation was his objection
He headed downstairs to the hotel reception
and obtained a keycard to a different room
It would be cockroach free (he did assume)

Alas, cockroaches were rampant in room #3
All the rooms were dirty it was clear to see
He changed hotels for an exorbitant fee
But the new hotel it was cockroach free!

Based on my son’s recent experience in Taiwan... he was actually shown 4 rooms  but sadly each was infested so he got a refund and got a new hotel at very short notice  - it cost him a fortune £100.. but it was clean!

Lindsay Laurie October 14, 2018 at 6:52 PM G'day Jan … I wonder if they were putting the same cockroaches in every room and then sharing the extra 100 quid. Arthur Daley wasn't the manager was he - thanks Jan - Lindsay Jan Allison October 15, 2018 at 2:47 AM lol Lindsay, maybe they were in league lol:-) hugs jan xx

Gershon Wolf October 9, 2018 at 10:40 AM Quite a romp of a write --- for everyone but your son. Gotta feel for his plight! … And how about that title, Jan?! -- Perfect!! Best always, Gershon Jan Allison October 15, 2018 at 2:47 AM I couldn't resist the title GW I think its often as important as the actual body of the poem:-) hugs Jan xx

Connie Marcum Wong October 6, 2018 at 6:25 PM How terrible Jan. I can't abide them either. I knew there was a poem in your son's experience. Teehee. I enjoyed! : ) Jan Allison October 7, 2018 at 4:45 AM I wrote the basis of the poem last week after he told me of his experience but only finished it yesterday:-) hugs jan xx

Gordon Mcconnell October 6, 2018 at 3:54 PM Good write Jan, very well penned indeed. Not something one would want to go through, but at least your son got a new hotel. Blessings,Gordon Jan Allison October 7, 2018 at 4:44 AM He got a new hotel last minute at great cost but good for him for moving out!:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta October 6, 2018 at 2:06 PM Government must encourage people to eat insects! There is a plethora of cockroaches, flies, ants, mosquitoes, etc. which proliferate simply because we don't eat them. Your son could have saved £100 and more by feasting on all those cockroaches filled with protein! Let the banquet begin! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison October 7, 2018 at 4:44 AM ha ha ha i do wonder what delicacies he has eaten, I have told him he's not getting rooster testicles when he comes home they are not on MY menu!:-) hugs jan xx

Constance La France October 6, 2018 at 10:45 AM Jan, well written, oh that is so creepy, all those bugs crawling around. I had a similar experience in a cheap Florida motel one time. It was cockroach season apparently, they were crawling everywhere on trees, on the ground and of course in the rooms and people seemed to think nothing of it ~ Jan Allison October 7, 2018 at 4:43 AM I've never seen one, never want to!!!:-) hugs jan xx
