Turned Down Service by Matt Amott

He noticed her
in the lobby
while checking in
to the hotel,
long red hair
and bright blues eyes.

He was a bit cocky
thinking he might be able
to get her into his room
but she turned him down
and added that
she was maid staff,
so the only time
she would ruffle his sheets
is after he checked out.
