The Motel Goodrest

With plates and words in anger flying My wife and I now deem it best To cease all our screaming and crying As I check into the Motel Goodrest I arrive and plop down for a blissful night But for two hours a car’s engine revs; varoom! Above me screeching shouts; a lover’s fight And the loud thumping of the bed in the next room A frantic eeeouu; a cayote cat snack? Now the zzz-zzz of a neon sign on the blink If I had any brains I’d start to pack! But I sigh aaah; into slumber I sink Sun shines through the drapes and onto the wall There’s splish-splashing in the motel pool It was a calm, restful night after all Yipee! Now everything’s cool! I hear a loud clomp-clomp; what now? There’s a moo so low and mournful Through the window peers the eyes of a cow Looking a bit weary and scornful I pack and flee as if for my life Passing the cow whose bell clangs and claps I check out and meekly return to my wife And spend the weekend taking naps 7/22/22 Written in Onomatopoeia
