Dead in the Shower

So I could pay rent and have a place to dwell, 
I used to work at a hotel. 
One day, when I knocked and said, "housekeeping," 
I listened for a response and heard nothing. 

So, I opened the door, and to my surprise,
I heard the shower running. Oops, sorry, guys. 
I closed the door and walked away. 
Said I'll save that room for the end of the day. 

I cleaned the other rooms. Some I thought were the worst. 
Then at the end of the day, I went back to the first. 
I said "housekeeping" and knocked again. 
I heard no response, so then . . . 

I opened the door and my surprise was even greater. 
Heard the shower still runnning, all these hours later. 
I nervously opened the bathroom door, 
hoping there was no one dead on the floor.

I saw the shower curtain was still pulled tight.
I prepared myself for a terrible fright. 
The shower scene from "Psycho" ran through my mind. 
Behind that shower curtain, what would I find? 

Was someone dead? Or maybe dying?
I was a little nervous. I am not lying. 
I grabbed the shower curtain and pulled it back, 
worried I'd find a victim of a heart attack.

Fortunately, there was no one there. 
Then I wondered, why did no one care 
to turn off the shower before checking out? 
I gave them the benefit of the doubt

and took a guess that they just forgot. 
Maybe they were in a hurry for their next vacation spot. 
After turning off the shower, I looked at the walls
covered in countless little water balls. 

I grabbed a towel to soak up the condensation.
Had a big mess to clean, and saw no donation. 
In my experience, tips are few and far between.
Cleaners feel overworked and under seen. 

By the way, if you leave a mess to prank a hotel, 
the CEO ain't the one dealing with that smell. 
It's the workers who are suffering and being oppressed.
Stand up for all people, no matter how they are dressed.

Dead in the shower
Be careful in the shower. 
You don't want to end up 
dead in the shower.
