Hermit

I want to be a hermit, Live a life without permits; No whiny pompous fools, No busybodies spouting rules, No evening nightly news Telling me the proper views By which I should live. I long to be a hermit, I don't need anyone to confirm it. A life alone need not be solitary With faeries in the boxberry And forest friends to visit, While Pixies in white-flowered privets Entertain me with mischievous fun.

This 'Hermitage' sounds like a great place for someone with an 'Imagination Cap!' Ah, to be young again... :) gw

If only I could be young again. In my retirement I am not a hermit, although I am quite a home body!
