Hi Ann:
What gives with the king size beds in hotels?
Mine was like a rock and the room air was as cold as a snowcone.
The tv remote had a thousand buttons arranged in no particular way
And
The tv didn’t even say a word to me when I turned it on.
Glad my wife was not quite as cold as that room and a little more conversent.
Good to hear you are still alive, and feeling something, even if the deck was a little hard!

Doubletree by Hilton
or
Four dinky pillows for the bed
By Ann Chiappetta
I thought the suite would be opulent
The King bed
A sultan’s necessity for sleep
An Enviable, blissful transom
Whisk Weary bones beneath duvet and anticipate the soft
Pillowed plumpness cradling my head
My cranium flattens cotton puff pastries instead
WTF I say and inspect the offered spread.
I discover Dollar store purchases within
A pricy three-night stay
shall we be complacent?
elect to ignite our inner Karen and
shout of the injustice of dinky pillows --
it insults our guesthood
In the prone position
these little nothings make no difference
Another thing about these pillows is their identity
Are they feather and down or
microfiber polypill or some
hybrid of all of the above
I can’t figure out which one or which combination
They’re like a generic of generic of generic
I’ve taken to putting a sofa cushion behind me instead
I am not Karen and will not stay there again.
Post a thumbs down on YELP while
reclining on a
Too hard king-sized bed
In a too large corner suite
With too many little pillows for sleep.
