THE HERMIT EMERGES
–
Out of the closet not,
He gave it special thought…
Wanted to join,
Hadn’t the coin
Someone gave him the shot!
–
Wasn’t used to being in crowds,
This one particularly loud…!
Laughter and joking
While he sat hoping
Somebody would soften the sound.
–
He hung in till the end,
Jealous of those with more friends…
But the Hermit’s unique–
He’ll rarely speak,
But whether he does—it depends.
