Sloth
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.
Napoleon and his Army was put to rest.
Sloth took their life stated Nurse Florence Nightingale.
If only they had just remembered to bath.
