Russian Writer Room

First came Tolstoy,
and then, second,
playwright Anton
Chekhov checked in.

The Sophocles Room

Here's to the author of Oedipus Rex
who wrote with such skill and aplomb.
We hope you'll be comfy. Feel free to have sex.
But make sure you don't come with your mom.

Good one, Marion, but perhaps the last line should read:

'but make sure you don't come with your mom'.

Best,
David

The Robert Frost Room

or "Honey, why did we take the kids?"

What room is this? Who gives a crap?
No Internet? No TV? Snap!
At least I've got my iPod here.
I'll turn it up and hear some rap.

The Prufrock Room


Tonight we'll have a picture show:
La Notte - very toney -
guests are free to come and go
and talk of Michelangelo
Antonioni

The E.M. Forster Room


A travelling Aussie, I booked me a possie
at the Sylvia Beach with a friend,
to take a quick look at our favourite book
a fella called Forster penned.

They must have mislaid the booking I'd made,
but no complaint will I send,
for despite missing out on a Room with a View,
we witnessed Howard's End!

Joyce Kilmer Suite

Though God makes trees,
as Kilmer said,
our chambermaids
will make your bed.

p.s. Marion - your idea of an Eratosphere convention at the Sylvia Beach Hotel has given me hilarious visions all through the day! For a start, it would bring a whole new meaning to the gossip about who would be sleeping in whose room! Imagining all the Erato characters commingling in a place with such fertile possibilities for japes has kept me chuckling all day!

I say - let's arrange it! It would be delightful.

Cally,

It would be wonderful! And afterwards, we'd have to write about what happened in the rooms.

D.H. Lawrence anyone?

Marion

ROOM SERVICE MENUS

Dr. Seuss Room

Would you like green eggs and ham
cooked by our head chef, Sam-I-Am?
Perhaps you would enjoy a drink
that's mixed by the Rink Rinker-Fink.
Can't decide? Well, it's a cinch
you'll like the roast beast a la Grinch.
And for dessert please try the Schlop
beautiful Schlop
with a cherry on top.


Shakespeare Room

For a starter that will tempt your palate:
enjoy our crispy Julius Caesar salad.
Eggs Benedick prepared with special gravy,
and a sizzling side of Hamlet maybe?
For something light, our Banbury cheese is fine,
Washed down by a glass of Malmsey wine.
Soup du jour? You might find this will suit:
cream of fenny snake with eye of newt.
Our Lean and Hungry Special--should you crave one--:
tonight we're serving roasted swan of Avon.
