John Scotter Poet Rhyme

Hotel Without Breakfast

# Hotel without breakfast
Tree lined country road 
The day is about to erode

Hotel sign flashed past
Somewhere to stay at last

Sunset shining through the trees dreaming of hotel beds 
Looking forward to stretching my legs 

Half a mile I think it said
I hope they have a lovely bed 

Here we are
Looking good so far
I hope they have a bar

Have you a room for the night
Double bed right

Overnight slept so well 
Despite the place looking like hell

Ghosts they stay here for fun
I’m sure I saw one 

Hungry after no dinner 
Full English would be a winner

Finding dinning room 
Empty, no sign of anyone 
feeling a sense of gloom 

Off to reception no one there 
This is a laugh do they care

Here comes someone through the door 
What times breakfast is what I’m here for

Sorry it’s bed only my dear
I thought you knew. 
What a disappointment through and through. 

Hotel without breakfast 
This will be our last
