My Humble Abode
By TheFailedCaterpillar
The quiet, calm, out of the way
sleep all night and sleep all day
Forest Cabin, in the woods
not a backward glance, let alone words
The finest place, a sight to see
Where time dare not pass, not in
front of me
You'll sleep the soundest sleep to sleep
You'll eat
the finest meat to eat
You're family won't argue, not even once
Back here in theĀ darkĀ forest redwood
You have arrived
At first it's nice, but nothing great
You'll never feel as
if you ate
You'll toss and turn, but not awake
with or without
a vigorous shake
You try to leave, get as far as the road
Your
family stares in horror
Your back, at my humble abode
