Karl was stuck for one night in a cheap motel room, <br />due to unexpected stop in a city with a tourist boom. <br />The hotels were all full. The airport lounge was tempting, <br />but wife's insistence on a bed, Karl's thought was preempting. <br /> <br />Now the price Karl liked: 29-95 for one night; <br />it even had hot water, if the timing was right. <br />Three of four light switches actually did work, <br />but the toilet did have an unfortunate quirk. <br />When he used too much paper, it didn't all go down, <br />but at least he had a place for the roaches to drown.<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/away-in-a-motel-room-friends-motel-short-humor/
