Finesse by Talile Ali
the pipe was cracked from over-use
the windows were all steamed
The sheets were pulled from much abuse
the door ajarred and gleemed
as the cleaning lady with her key
about her busy ways
bags the trash as usual
the beddings second place
trips and screams, to her surprise
a lump upon the floor
this over-worked professional
checked out the night before
the scream attracks the manager
So cool, he grabs the phone
smoothing his hair, quickly conveys
this ridget bag of bones
the cops are quick to so address
this tragedy in blue
with such finesse this street princess
is shuttled to her tomb
