The Manual

Hello, welcome to St Peter’s Inn
Yes, hello reservation for one
Under paul, the paradise suite

Hello Paul welcome to eternity
Let’s see if your on level four
Or the cold basement rooms

Saint Peter, I think there’s a mistake
My room is definitely on level four
Paul the book says basement

No there’s got to be some mix up
I followed the get to level four manual
This is not right saint Peter

Paul the book has not lied ever
You did not follow rule 2098
On the hundredth edition of
The manual

Wait I didn’t subscribe that month
Can I ask what the rule was saint peter
Sure, it was do not think bad on others
Come on now it wasn’t like I acted on it
Paul you must follow the manual
What do I get in the basement
A bench made of stone
No windows
And a bed with broken legs

Great, now let me guess for food
We eat stale bread witth rotten cheese
And I don’t want to guess what’s for dessert

When can I appeal for level four
The a thousandth edition will have appeals
What edition are we on
Oh, where starting with the second

Who actually reads these damn rules
Sorry if you would like you can sign a petition
It needs a million names for an appeal
And how many signed
Nobody they don’t read the manuals
