Comfort

I wrote this awhile ago but it seems quite apt right now


"All I need is a roof over my head and food and I am happy.   
You know, somewhere to wash of course and a toilet 'cos I don't like communal ones or communal baths, other peoples' pubes in your soap, that sort of malarkey, as far as I am concerned if you have to put paper down every time you want to go to the toilet that doesn't make you feel confident.   
Yeah, just a room with a private WC and somewhere to cook.  You know a little kitchenette will do.  Just room for an oven, a fridge, a little table or even a breakfast bar 'll do. 
I'll sit on a stool, I’m not proud.   
As long as I’ve got a roof over my head and food and water and somewhere to wash and a private wc,  with somewhere to cook and eat, 'cos you don’t want your clothes smelling of bacon and eggs!
Somewhere to sit and read or whatever, you know I don't need luxuries like the TV.   
Although it would be NICE to sit down and watch the news or stuff that was important, and there has been some well received films but I’m not much of a cinema goer so it wouldn't matter if they were old before I got to watch them or if the TV. itself wasn't remote, 
I wouldn't mind 'cos I wouldn't watch it much.   
Just read and maybe listen to the radio.   
Oh.  I'm not saying I need a radio but I need some sort of warning system if there was a war or a nuclear attack or a flood or a railway crash or another national disaster.   
Apparently you might as well get one with a c.d. player as not these days. I could just have a few classical discs, maybe some old jazz, there is some house stuff I enjoy, early Stones I quite like, late Beatles, some Reggae, you know, Studio One stuff, coupla dub plates, ska, the usual suspects,  you know? 
No, I don't need much, just a roof over my head, somewhere to wash, a private wc, a place to cook and eat, somewhere to sit and read or listen to music or watch t.v. with a view or even just leaves on a tree would be fine, or overlooking a park, that'd be nice, as long as I could see the stars at night.
