Ode to the Secret Word Lost
There was a time at many places not far away
where good times happened if you just did say
a special, super secret, secret word
that often at desks was heard.
I'm talking about Kimptom Hotels of course.
It's one example why in lodging they are now a force,
doing the little things no one else thinks of,
which left their guests full of love.
And loyalty too, for how else can you explain
the repeat business that soon came?
But alas, woes and tears,
one day it happened, our worst fears!
The special, super secret, secret word
was no longer, at Kimpton desks, ever heard.
It had lost its magic, no longer had power,
Instead, it just made the desk clerk turn sour.
Oh, how I long for a return to the days of old
when at Kimton Hotels gifts did unfold,
where guests reveled deep into the night,
enjoying their gifts with delight!

Ode to the Ode about The Secret Word
Our guests do love our secret word
From far and wide, that’s what we’ve heard
Just whisper it once, that’s what we advise,
And you will walk off with an awesome surprise
But here’s something that not everyone knows:
Our Secret Word, it comes and goes.
One month it’s there and the next it’s gone
Like all good things it won’t stay for long
But don’t despair when it goes away
It will be back another day
But when? You ask, and rightly so
The truth is, no one really knows.
Check Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date
And when it appears it’ll be worth the wait
Say it at check in and get treated like royalty
It’s our little way to say thanks for your loyalty!

How exhilarating!
Very close scoring for this poetry battle, but the edge goes to KimptonInTouch (Susan) for stepping up to the unsolicited challenge as well using the title "Ode to the Ode about The Secret Word."

Wish there had been a secret password during my all-Kimpton road trip for the 4th of July. Love the secret passwords!

Asked for and received free valet parking at The Brice for using the magic phrase.
