Out, out........or not

Such a beautiful and sunny day
Had to decide
In the lair to remain and hide
And from the world and it difficulties
To stay away

Yes, inside to remain safely
Surrounded by his altar
Impossible to falter
Plenty of candles lit
Just stay here on the cushion and sit
Ruminate, contemplate
In blessed simplicity

But gut wrenching decisions to make
For here, no way to prepare his favorite cake
No peanut butter left on the makeshift counter
Also no margarine and not a gram of butter

True, his hole in-the-wall of a lair
Was no Walden, to be fair
So for solace
He needed to get out
And a huge bucket of chocolate ice cream
To purchase.
