I'D Love To Be a Hermit In a Cave
I’d Love To Be a Hermit in a Cave
By Elton Camp
Thoreau is a man I especially admire
To live alone like him is my own desire
The only thing is he didn’t go far enough
In his cabin, he still had worldly stuff
I would like to sit alone in quiet and dark
Never hear a phone or a dog’s angry bark
How it would feel I desire to understand
To be independent and live off the land
With nobody to tell me I ought to get ahead
Or to ask if the latest new book I have read
It would be fine to sleep as late as I please
What a happy life with things like these
Only one worldly compromise I’d want to get
I just don’t see how I can live without Internet
