Meg's Car Breaks Down
Meg’s Car Breaks Down
By Elton Camp
Meg saw her car was running hot
If it should quit, she’d be in a spot
With dark approaching and it growing late
Stranded on the road would be a bad fate
The old car was about to break down
With dismay, Meg looked all around
When to her relief and great delight
She saw a motel with a Vacancy light
Her despair then turned to good cheer
“I can safely spend the night right here.”
When Meg requested a room and bed
“Twelve rooms, twelve vacancies,” he said
She’d been in her room less than an hour
When she decided that she’d take a shower
As she was rinsing her face and her eyes,
A shadowy form gave Meg a surprise
Then she knew she didn’t do well
To dare check in at the Bates Motel
