Holiday Hotel

HOLIDAY    HOTEL

Oh you can talk of Ritz and Claridge
And of restaurants wax lyrical
Never  even  a  beetle  or midge 
A fly in the soup’s an  empirical  miracle

But the finest stay in a hostelry
Somewhere  between Cairo  and  Teheran
Doubtless without a hint of rivalry
The finest  room,   food  and  divan

Was  to be  found in a hot desert  place
Where water was  green but delicious.
When the sun went down apace
The remnant food was nutritious.
 
Night temperature  two degree  decrease 
Sleep was  a luxury to count on
And four hours of delight and peace 
Once the ants were gone
