After driving so far down the road, I needed some sleep, so I slowed. A sign said "motel"...... but one cannot tell, when the weirdo is due to explode !! This motel had declared a good rate. So, I checked into my room, rather late. But the price should be lower! Compromised in the shower By proprietor, young Norman Bates !! I ran fast down the road, like a chicken ! While forgetting my clothes, panic-stricken ! No more showers, for me ! ! No more bubble bath glee ! ! Bare-assed, I might be, ....but still kickin' !!!!!

The last line is the real 'kicker' and I'm sure it's not a good feeling to be 'couped up' in a shower with Mr. Bates on the loose...SO nice to see you write funny stuff my friend and this may be your funniest...
