my door is always open
– do drop in
unless of course it’s closed
then don’t be bothering
don’t knock – don’t enter
please just stay away
I’m the only one
that I can see today
it’s not that I don’t value
company
it’s just that I’m the one
that gets on best with me
unless we have a row
in which case help
the bottle will come down
from off the shelf
then I’m in no state
for partying
my door is always open
– do drop in

Thanks, oldmainer – not far from the truth (the misanthropy, I mean)!

The subject of the poem demonstrates wonderfully the ambivalence of the reclusive position. Cheers

Thanks Laurie – also i hope the ambivalence of the term “light verse” which often has a dark centre. Almost always in my case! cheers.
