Bugged

In his fancy hotel room James found bed bugs
at first he thought he was on too many drugs.
But they were real, moving about
he wanted to leave, get right out.
But a maid came and swept 'em under the rugs.

Thank you, Cheryl, for commenting. I understand that many hotels are infested, and hotel managers are at a loss to know what to do about it. The bugs arrive via the luggage of tourists from abroad.
