Regarding Seattle spending heavily to house the homeless in pricey hotels. Seattle spent $230 million to purchase nine hotels to house the homeless.
I saw a homeless man living in a tent
Actually in a luxury hotel is what I meant
You might see them at the Hilton you know
And the halls might smell like feet and b.o.
They will offer them a continental breakfast
But the pool area really won't smell the freshest
If you are at breakfast eating some watermelon
You might be sitting next to a convicted felon
Well you might see some garbage in the halls
And you might see some vandalism on the walls
There might be used needles by the pool
Don't step on them, that would not be cool
You may see them smoking their joints
While they collect their Hilton Honors points
They can stay at the Hampton and might not beg
And they can eat the omelets with fake egg
And if they get the Hilton Honors credit card
They can drink more alcohol in the courtyard
Seattle doesn't want these bums to feel shunned
But if I booked a stay here I would be bummed
I think they've given up the homeless battle
And so it goes again with liberal Seattle
