The Zeichner Hotel

there's this house on our street
that does not look unique
nondescript and plain
its just like the others, its exactly the same

but inside its a different scene
the likes of which I've rarely seen
guests from israel just landed
the keys to their room they are handed

now its friday well past noon
our  next guests are coming very soon
so we change the linens in the room
while singing a lively shabbos tune

the boss now vacation bound,
friends come in to watch the grounds
of course they need a place to sleep
so on the bed we put fresh sheets

then for the weekend we'll host family
so we prepare the room happily
we put fresh linens on the beds
for a comfortable place to rest their heads

on shabbos day,
 kids come to play
all are ushered inside
when the snack bar open wide
so the kids can choose their treats
and hungry moms can eat in peace

its shabbos again
what better way to spend
if not with sleepover friends
do you a see a trend?

tishrei is coming, do you hear,
suitcases rolling everywhere?
guest arrive from far and near,
do you have a bed to spare?

for each yomtov separate guests
the beds must look their best

seminary girls pop over
on their homebound stop over
while waiting for the connecting bus,
why not stay with us?


the pile of laundry now over my head
 i just want to lie down in my bed
the linens never see the shelf
Thank G-d i have help!

the linens are so comfy
and the food is so yummy
they come from worldwide
our door is open wide
welcome to the Zeichner Hotel



****This post is intended solely as a humorous take on the rapid turnover of guest we sometimes have. this post is not intended to suggest that our guests are imposing.  we are so thankful that we are blessed with space to host guests. because it is hard to get out with yossi, hosting our friends has given us the ability to enjoy  shabbos and yomtov like everyone else. Thank you to all of our amazing friends! we're praying for an upgrade so we can host you all more comfortably!****
