A Tribute To Lazy People

Soap and water are foreign concepts to the lazy Cleanliness is an enemy of the state Sleep is easier, more practical than showering Which requires initiative and power Lazies barely have the will to live It is curious how lazies procreate They don't do naked well And like the turtle they go slow And like the rest of us they come to an end But slower Parasites grow envious of the idle ones Lazy people are geniuses at doing nothing Living off others is a science There is nothing better than free Lazy people snore with big fat noses They don't start wars for obvious reasons It is hard enough to turn a light switch off In a perfect world toilet seats stay up No wives are needed, well, perhaps to buy potato chips Couch potatoes are kings and need no reason to be kind It is their job to be seated or reclined TV's don't watch themselves you know No schools, no rules, no shootings Because we would all be lazy too Because of lazy people fewer people die They are the ultimate weapon against crime Fatigue sets in quickly for the idle ones It is always time to recline for the malingerers Lazy people are much too busy eating fries Hamburgers are their best friends But don't ask cows too many questions It is the end Thank God for lazy people Where would we be without them? Where would they be without us? So love the lazy people you can trust They are always there....in a chair Don't wake them up
