Laguna Hotel Painting

Sandpiper Inn, Corona del Mar

Oh, the Old Greek, who managed the place,

Who in childhood experienced the German camps, 

Hired the loveliest girls to work the front desk...

A porter, I was there to be near the sea,

But incidentally took note of the girls'

Tales of nightclubbing in Laguna, Hotel Laguna,

And wished they'd take me along.
