Karl was stuck for one night in a cheap motel room,
due to unexpected stop in a city with a tourist boom.
The hotels were all full. The airport lounge was tempting,
but wife's insistence on a bed, Karl's thought was preempting.

Now the price Karl liked: 29-95 for one night;
it even had hot water, if the timing was right.
Three of four light switches actually did work,
but the toilet did have an unfortunate quirk.
When he used too much paper, it didn't all go down,
but at least he had a place for the roaches to drown.
