But a lazy man’s slumber is his greatest feat.
<p>It irks a lazy man when early birds chirp;<br>
For he loves not to discontinue his sleep:</p>
<p>Instead of getting up to fetch the hoe,<br>
He’d bury his face in the pillow!</p>
<p>The lazy one muses about fortune and cars,<br>
Yet thinks it enervating to fill up his jars;</p>
<p>While he tours the realm in style and speed,<br>
His land is overgrown with serious weeds!</p>
<p>When his belly murmurs thunder and his face is drawn,<br>
He will seek the yeoman and beg for corn!</p>
<p>Poverty is justice for the lazy man<br>
And failure for him with no plan</p>
<p>In all labor there is profit,<br>
But idleness boosts deficit.</p>
<p>A shiftless person is the devil’s animal,<br>
You’ll find him picking pockets at the bus terminal!</p>
