When I am not doing anything, I am the king
Of leisure, of slumber, of procrastination's sting
My days are spent in idle, sweet delusion
As I lounge upon my couch, in comfort's fashion
My belly full, my mind a blank, my soul's passion
Is for the couch, the pillow, and the remote's graspion
For in this world of toil and strife, I am a sloth
A master of the art of doing nothing, I am the lord
Of lazy days and nights, of idle, sweet, sweet lord
And when I am not doing anything, I am the best
— A sonnet of a sloth.
