Checked In, and In

Marie McCaid was a hotel maid.
She tidied rooms where guests had laid.
On opening Room thirty-four
the odor sent her to the floor.
One guest had clearly overstayed.

Jan, I'm sorry my limerick called to mind a tragic event in the life of your son. Because you read many of my poems, I would not have posted the limerick if I had known about your son's experience. Again, I'm sincerely sorry. hugs x x x
