Sloth
Sloth has the officer serving us
Quick to offer a pet reply
Because he finds the job tedious:
"Your need we are unable to supply."
Sloth has a pet answer for failure:
Oh, I am sorry, I forgot."
It's true forgetting is part of nature
But it's lousy when it's pet.
Sloth has the accounting man surprised
When the populace is up in arms
When their needs aren't prioritized.
Now there are sirens and alarms!
Sloth takes the country many years back,
Losing money by the millions
Due to handling by the slack
Who need ages to make decisions!
