Tired, I stopped for the night
at the first place in sight.
I should’ve noted the signs:
the complimentary paper said “Nixon Resigns.”
The mint on my pillow got up and walked
and on the floor was a body outline chalked.
Now, I don’t mind the eclectic…
but “magic fingers” was the town epileptic!
I’m not that tired after all….
