The Caveman

I met a caveman last night,
He painted his house with shells, ragdolls and old tin cans,
He gave beds to the homeless.

You see, he was a shy man,
But he liked company,
He felt reassured having others in his cave.

Day by day, the sun rose, and the sun fell,
The caveman stayed there, waiting for strangers to fill his beds,
One evening no strangers came any more,
The beds were empty.

Just him,
The sea,
The stars, 
And the moon.

Last night I met a caveman,
He's still waiting in his cave.
