What's wrong with the bed?

 What's wrong with this bed?

This bed isn't made

I just had a nap

And we don't have a maid.


You'd think in a hotel

They would do things well

But the morning after after nine eleven

Everything was at sixes and sevens


At our Joburg hotel one girl took the sheets.

Promised another would bring new sheets

After half-an-hour we had yet to meet

Two beds but no sheets and I needed  my sleep!


The customer's alwsys right

But complaining about anything

Is a sin if you're British

But my patience wore thin


I phoned reception and said

First of all your hotel is neat

 A breakfast was full of good things to eat

But I'm checking out, cancel my week, my bed has no sheets!


I've been up all night And I need my slumber.

I sleep four hours on the plane but I need more

I'm not willing to sleep on the floor

Please tell my husband, I've checked us in to the hotel next door.


She promised, 'ma'am,  right away! I'll send up fresh sheets

Are you dining with us? You get the best seats

A table by the window with the best view

After all you've been through, it's the least we can do!'


I said, 'That sounds great, thanks - I have to go 

I love window seats, a view from the window

There"s a knock at the door, a lady with sheets

Thanks for the bedtime choc"late treats.’

-ends-

True story. About two different people removing ànd replacing sheets with a time gap.  Not the restaurant. The conference organization was in charge of the dinner.
