While I did write this on Friday, we were on the road home from Spokane, with no internet. So, it's a day late, but hey, he says he'll leave the light on for us.
Ode to Tom Bodett
Four days on the road
And only two hotel rooms,
Makes me no expert.
However, I’m me.
And lord knows, I have opinions.
Need suggestion box.
Breakfast Required.
Not lame-o cereal bar.
Waffle iron, yes!
La Quinta buffet,
Biscuits, gravy, eggs, yogurt,
stood with standards.
Major points for grub.
But why end breakfast at 9?
Need more pillow time.
Cedars Inn lovely.
Foyer smells of vanilla.
Warm and welcoming.
Marble in bathroom!
And modern decor throughout.
But bed soft as floor.
Thus, in summary:
Polyester bedding out,
Internet a must.
JP interrupts
With this important message,
A smile on his face.
If check in/check out
Begins and ends with cookies,
He will be loyal.
He hopes to be asked
About “The Legend of the
Missing Razor,” mine.
Ahem. The end.
JP has a Mystery to solve? Fantastic.
Waffles are always a good thing.

These haikus are amazing, Lori! I have never been good at haikus, but you've inspired me to someday have a go at it! :)

Bella -- You can do it!!! It's easy. Just 5/7/5 syllables. That's it. I like the restriction because it forces me to choose my words carefully. Of course, I look a fool while I count on my fingers!
