Hotel Hellifornia

I went on vacation to Hell,
The hotel was hot, with a smell,
And The Devil was rude,
When I toyed with my food:
He cooked all the dinners as well.

For Carolyn’s Vacation contest

Hell-o, Jack! Ok that was pretty corny, me greeting you that way... but yup, I did enjoy reading this limerick of yours-- that's a pretty witty name of the hotel though-- now I got Hotel California playing in my mind....thank you for keeping is in our prayers-- aside from broken and damaged trees, my family and I are ok-- hoping that our trees recover soon, thanks again dear Jack!

The Devil's in the details. He love's it when humanity fails. So vacation where it's cooler. And support the other ruler. :) Tell satan the checks in the mail. Peace. :)

this is awesome, but maybe I am wrong: don't you have to write three limericks? maybe I got that wrong!! Sure wish i could come up with stuff the way you do, my friend.
