I Am Sleeping With a Bucket

staying in an unalloyed and bald hotel 
in the hague i request the following artefacts 
one glass of water on the hour every hour 
(throughout the night)
only the right leg of a chicken and sixteen pillows
staying in a cracker-barrel and commonsensical hotel
in mayfair i complain about the following oozing 
the sheets are too white the bath is too big
(throughout the night)
my dog didn't enjoy his stay and there was no ocean view
and i leave you with this
when applying for a job as a play school teacher
don't forget to sing during the interview
