10 of 12 given words:
cringe freeze privacy hilltops hide escape sorrow swivel limpmiscreant (a person who has done something wrong or unlawful)
plaid (chequered or tartan twilled cloth)
trying to freeze his privacy unto himself
as a way of forgetting the woes impacting
a hermit's routine ideal up the hilltops
to just bid his time to be alone to swivel
around without any particular reason
but he was sporting a limp the past week
when he slipped unceremoniously in the
driveway and crumbled in a blob
the miscreant they were looking for had
an uncanny resemblance in gait and also
headed for the hills on the last count
it was his ill-luck to have pulled the plaid
from the drawers on the way out of the house
again a blunder
he was nabbed by the police subject to
rigorous questioning as to the colourful
tartan plaid which appeared similar
just goes to show one cannot take lightly
anything colourful to have on one's person

A fun and endearing tale! In the UK, at every single wedding there is at least one person wearing tartan. Or at least every wedding I've been to. This brought back memories!
