Kafka Room

It's bad enough to find a cockroach on the shelf;
it's even worse to find the cockroach is yourself.

[Janet Kenny]

The Alfred Tennyson room

O hark, O hear! through thin veneer,
The brittle wall partitions, knowing
Each fart and snore from them next door
The winds of tourists nightly blowing!
Blow, let us hear the other room replying:
Woe, fugal answer; exit, crying, crying, crying.

The Robert Frost Room

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
especially when it's so thin you can hear the couple screwing down the hall.

Kafka Suite

1.

At home life's a Trial,
At home life's a hassle,
But here, honored guest,
You're the king of the Castle.

2.

This room has been inspected.
There are no gaps or orifices.
So if there is a bug here, friend,
It's you, post-metamorphoses.

Sign in the Bathroom of The Herman Melville Room

If the toilet overflows
Call the desk; yell "Thar she blows!"

Sylvia Plath Examining the Kitchen

I'd like an oven where my head
Can rest in peace until I'm dead.

The Nathaniel Hawthorne Room

We may lack Internet and cable,
but we do have seven gables!

W.B. Yeats 'Do Not Disturb' Sign

Cast a cold eye on the sign on my door.
Room maid, pass by.

And so it IS at --LAST I lost
