On the web superhighway, needed something to do
Finished Puzzledonkey, where next, not a clue
Tucked away in a corner, I saw an intriguing link
I clicked upon it and a site appeared
I had to stop for a think
There it sat in my browser;
I started contest one
And I was thinking to myself,
'This is too hard, but it sure is fun'
Then I came to the forum and it showed me the goal
There were clues that gave me a nudge,
I was on a roll...

Welcome to the Hotel Puzzletomia
Such a lovely site
Keeps you up at night
Puzzles galore at the Hotel Puzzletomia
We've got Braille and Morse, and Vigenere of course

My mind is getting all twisted, cutting out little cubes
Eats up a awful lot of precious time, social life down the tubes
Staring at little pictures, say what you see.
Some fall really quickly, some you can't find the key

So I PM'd Rosie,
'Please give me a clue'
She said, 'I'd consider the title once again if I were you'
And still my brain can't solve that bloody gateway,
Staying up til the middle of the night
Keeping sleep at bay...

Welcome to the Hotel Puzzletomia
Such a lovely site
Keeps you up at night
No givin' it up at the Hotel Puzzletomia
You'll go round the bend, bring your monkey friend

Mirrors hint at atbash,
ASA's clues are nice
But what's this, 'When you've made it to round 5, build an enigma device'
And in Trifle Trivial,
You're last but never least
You google half the blooming world,
But you just can't solve the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Grinding down my jaw
I had to find the barcode chart
That had helped me out before
'Relax,' said Sparkplug,
There's just one left to do.
Then you can go and get a social life,
But first try Paul Trigger 2!

Wonderful, clever, funny and should I feel embarrassed - it really isn't all I ever say.
