Listen to a poem: Give me a simple life Give me a simple life
With a book by the fire
A stool to rest my feet on
And a cushion for my head.
Free me from mobiles, emails, iPods,
Phones, computers, cars, pollution,
Hospitals, Work or Job Centres,
Motorbikes or cars with screaming sirens.
Give me a simple life
With a book by the fire
A stool to rest my feet on
And a cushion for my head.
Don’t throw at me Self-Assembly kits
Where I have to hunt for all the bits
Don’t tell me I can order online
Or phone 0870 and wait in a queue.
Give me a simple life
With a book by the fire
And a cushion for my head!
