Where Did Stephen King Write "The Shining"?
The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado
In Estes Park Colorado stands the Stanley Hotel
Room 217 Stephen King knew well
In this room, "The Shining" got its start
Inspired by The Stanley, written from the heart
In room four eighteen -empty or not
Children can be heard playing a lot
They've been heard by cleaning crews
Laughing and playing like children do
Some guests have left during the night
Because of the sounds, they left in fright
They heard children playing in the hallways
But not one child had checked in the place.
The previous owner, Lord Dunraven
Sometimes stays in room 407
In the corner, Dunraven just stands
Perhaps he misses owning this land.
If you're in Colorado with nothing to do
You might travel to 333 Wonderview,
The Stanley Hotel really has style..
If you don't mind children, stay a while.
