Poets who didn’t know it

The sheets were crisp, the linens were tidy. Think about it, so many bodies slumbered here before, no one knows. Who’s bed have your Hey Dudes been under, no one knows. Thumping like thunder from down under but not that kind. SLAM SLAM SLAM but not that kind. Hilltop Cottage is the spot if you like it hot.. in hurrr
