Rename It the Heartbreak Hotel

the owners decided to rename the honeymoon suites hotel
after so many marriages got off to a terrible start
two of the brides had died in their sleep the first night
the ghost of this place is howling as I type this, I know.

six grooms have jumped off the balcony to their deaths.
no, I am not inside a room typing this. I am across the street.
whatever is haunting that place is too intensely evil for me.
it should be the Heartbreak Hotel if you ask me.
