Please Don’t Stay Here

If you like high rise and concrete, and long waits to dine,

Elevator gridlock and standing in line,

Loud music, fowl language and the smell of stale beer,

Then no matter your budget, please don’t stay here.

If you’re not into nature and preservation’s no issue.

You don’t conserve water and you overuse tissue,

If you must have a stogie and throw butts far and near,

Then do what you wish, but please don’t stay here.

If you’re not into lodges with the crackling of a fire,

Wood floors that occasionally creak  when you retire,

The whistle of the wind when a storm is near,

And traditional lodge racket, then please don’t stay here.

If you need freeway exits, paved parking, a mall,

Rather see a skyscraper than a tree that is tall,

Bothered by mountain air that is fresh, dry and clear,

Then whatever you do, please don’t stay here.

But, if you do see a value in a true getaway,

Want warm, bed and breakfast style service each day,

Enjoy dining and amenities that make your trip dear,

Then please be our guests, and PLEASE, DO STAY HERE.
