PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I get requests to write reviews of hotels and motels that I stay in on my journeys.  I’m never sure how I should respond.  Location is always of great importance.  It’s always nice to be able to walk to sites you wish to visit.  But I am a lot less concerned with other amenities that might be involved.  I don’t really need a business center or a gym.  I don’t need access to pay per view movies or a thousand TV stations.  My primary concern for a hotel is that I want to be able to sleep, shit and shower.  I don’t want to stay in a pig sty but I don’t require much.  The paining on the wall is nice but who cares?  I’m not likely to sit around studying it.  It won’t be the end of the world if a curtain has a cigarette burn hole.  It won’t ruin my day if a few TV stations don’t come in.  I don’t need a fancy shower.  I just need a clean one.  I don’t care if there is a hairdryer as long as there is an appropriate stock of toilet paper.  My primary purpose of travel is to travel.  I’m not looking to turn a hotel room into my second home.  I just need to sleep, shower and shit and the rest will take care of itself.

Sleep, shower and shit

as long as mice stay away

I can feel okay

Just let me sleep, shower and shit

in a clean and secure room
