THE SLOTH
His life is an Epic story in a tragic playlet
He is the one person who opens wares an hour after the market
He comes to town a day after the fair
Running back home with the aim of catching a wild breed Hare
He "holds hard" after the shot has left the gun
He locks the stable after the herd is all gone
He won't die, though he is of no use alive
His life, like that of a typical dreamer who carries water in a sieve
He is Mr. Everything married to Mrs. Nothing
They are born to rest and they are living to sleep
Both of them, a typical breed of St. Judas
They cover their well after their children are drowned and left in the deep
They are always busy ploughing the air when their field is waist high in weed
Busy! They are at the old farm
Bringing up buckets of water
After the last pillar of thier house is burnt down
Still, they realize not that they are a living corpse.
