Rocky's Nighttime Visitors

Rocky’s Nightime Visitors

By Elton Camp

In a sleazy hotel Rocky decided to stay
But he figured it would likely be okay
He turned the deadbolt and set the chain
In safety he intended that he’d remain

The neighborhood far sure not first rate
But he was tired and it was getting late
Hookers passed outside on the street
But none of them did he care to meet

He went to sleep but heard a sound
That told him something was around
Rocky felt a light touch to his cheek,
And opened his eyes to take a peek

Quite wild eyes he saw looking back
And legs that were slim and black
He wondered what he was gonna do
Easy to handle one, but there were two

Even a macho man like he felt alarm
And had no doubt they meant harm
Although it would give him no thrill.
If necessary, he was willing to kill

They came to his bed totally uninvited
But their presence made him excited
But it was far too risky to let them stay
So Rocky brushed the big spiders away
