Best Sloth Poems

I like to exercise my mind, but how I hate to work.
Whatever needs exertion is the action that I shirk.
Labor with the brain is fine.  I do it all the time.
How I love to sit and read or think of words that rhyme.

But send...

Sidney sloth was so very very shy
He’d hide in the treetops way up high

Hanging upside down so no one could see
He’d painted his toes red like a ripe cherry

Sidney hid in the tree so silently
High in the branches where no one could see

But soon Sidney...

To hoard your gifts, to sit upon
the dust and ash - this life won’t last.
I n a c t i v i t y  bores,  i n v i t e s
the demons in…these beasts lambaste.

Named sin, the act of sloth we often scorn;
observing, the word lazy comes to mind.
Real sloths, with slow metabolisms, born; 
but our health reasons, oft are not assigned.

Sloth’s Steaming Sin


Sluggishness slitters solely straightforward 
Sedentary survival styles scold, strain
Self-centeredness - sloth’s shinning standard 
Squandering silvers… spiritual sprain

His life is an epic
He is the one person who opens wares an hour after the market 
He comes to town a day after the fair 

He "holds hard" after the shot has left the gun 
He locks the stable after the herd is all...

SLOTH

Of the eastern hemisphere, regal lies a continent.
A mustering of soldiers walked a campaign for mastery.
Napoleon Army had virtually defeated all other nation states.
From Russia his Army walked after this war partaken.
They had addressed the real threat.
But oh, Russia’s freezing winter caused sin to manifest.

I Wish I was a Sloth

I wish I was a Sloth, hanging from a Tree,
Because If I was a Sloth; no more work for me.
The pace of life would suit me fine,
No need to be there, no need to be on time.
Suspended floppily upside down,
No...

'Tis a tree sloth that I be,
Dwelling in a tree sloth's tree.
When a worker bee
Asks what's up with me,
I say, "Sloth shall set you free."...

Endowed by God with life’s functional might
Yet wasting labor’s optimal delight
Slothful* hands, though repentant, fully earn
Dearth-angst for which their hearts defied to yearn.

*Proverbs 19:24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

To those who only lie around all day
and fail to do the many things you should;
for those who take and take, yet never pay,
a sloth are you who does the world no good.

I shut down and die each night.
I do not want to entertain anyone.
I do not want to hear my name.
I do not want to fix supper.

I shut down and die each night.
Spending my evening in my zippered zebra pajamas
And fluffy socks that do not have...
