HARBOUR LIGHTS MOTEL

Picture
Welcome to the Harbour Lights Motel
An establishment of charm and quaint decay
The beds are clean, the tariff cheap, the view superb
We hope you really do enjoy your stay.
 
We are sorry but your room is not quite ready
For we've yet to change the sheets and sweep the floor
If we show you where to park and stow your luggage
Could we ask you to return at half past four?
 
Do not hesitate to ring for any service
From the payphone - just put 10 cents in the slot
We've got coffee, tea and milk if you are thirsty
But we cannot guarantee that they'll be hot.
 
You may use the spa for 50 cents per person
The iron will cost you 20 cents an hour
There's a meter for the lights outside the bathroom
And an extra charge for turning on the shower
 
We prefer you do not eat inside the unit
And you must not laugh or sing or make a noise
We sincerely hope you won’t turn on the TV
And loud talking is a thing you should avoid
 
We request that you check out by eight tomorrow
For we've fumigators coming in to spray
And although we're sure there are no mice or 'roaches
We would like to kill the rats without delay
 
So goodnight and peaceful sleep you weary traveller
May your dreams bear you away to places true
Where the Harbour Lights Motel will no-where feature
And your squalid life will be transformed anew.


See me on.......
