Disappointment

Disappointment 

I read about made people escape the crazy world.
The civilization we call modern life by hiding in a hidden little town in Laos
A place Where they can be irrational on their terms 
Sleep when they want to and drink beers when they feel like it.
Eccentric" rich millionaires," in Norway flee to Swiss of all places
A state is so chemically clean of fun and clutter.
The people in Swiss are not impressed by these rich/ poor escapees
Who bitterly and grouchy talk about the high taxes.
The Norwegian's rich eccentricity is about wearing 
a morning suit at breakfast
And learning Portuguese from their maids.
Misfits are in a land where no one points and says: Look, they are rich!
