Scratched

An email came from our hotel – 
We’ve scratched your reservation.
We weren’t that surprised and took
The news with resignation.

The hurricane wreaked havoc there
And with the loss of power,
The chance of new accommodations
Worsened by the hour.

The canceling of flights came next, 
A challenge while you’re driving,
But after much frustration,
Credits soon will be arriving.

We’ll unreserve the rental car
And once we get that cracking,
The only thing remaining is
Unfolding and unpacking.

Ah. Sorry your vacation was messed up. This is an interesting story. It reminds me of why I don't like to fly.
