Now you lay you down to sleep
let me warn you, you should keep
a gun cocked ready by the bed.
The last guest who slept here is dead.

(with apologies to Herrick):
....
In this very bed was laid
....
Agnes Campbell, once my maid,
....
Maid no more (tho none the worse)
....
Thanks to your inviting verse.

Wondering why the pillow’s pocked?
Blasted poet’s gun was cocked!!
(Seems the trigger sprang a shot
in recoil to a skirling Scot).

Oh, please, enjoy your stay tonight.
Don't mind the ghosts in the dim light,
But should you scream, as you just might,
You aren't charged extra for the fright.

Pleasant dreams, sojourner here.
Enjoy the bed, the HBO.
We hold you and your business dear.
But don't forget, by ten, to go.
