Homebody

Build a wall around your castle self.

Let no one enter the gates.

If no one comes in the gates,

Then no one can try to

Poison your wine,

Burn your building,

Steal your gold,

Cut your throat.

So build your wall,

Up and up and up.

Beware,

For no servants can enter either,

No cooks for your meals,

No maids for your mess,

No guards for your protection.

You will sit with your treasures

Piled high around,

And the fruit in the kitchen

Rotting,

And the livestock in the yard,

Dying,

And the flowers in the sill,

Wilting,

And cobwebs in the corners,

Growing,

And your little belly,

Growling.

So build your wall,

Up and up and up.

Lock those gates with

Iron chains.

I will no longer try to enter.

I will watch a wave,

As lightning strikes,

And you're stuck to burn

In your own flames.
