Degrees of Laziness

Ladies and gentlemen 
I am sure there are,
more than ten degrees 
of laziness.
I’m just to lazy 
to write them.
Please feel free to add more
degrees of laziness 
in your comments below.

First-degree of laziness 
People who won’t 
do anything, 
if they can get 
someone to do it
for them.

Second-degree of laziness
Putting off anything,
that needs doing,
Because you don’t
feel like it.

Third-degree of laziness
Taking all the time 
in the world, to do, 
anything people 
ask you to do.

Fourth-degree of laziness
comes when 
you feel fine...
calling in sick.

Fifth-degree of laziness
Avoiding work of any kind,
At any time.

Sixth degree of laziness 
Placing your Fitbit 
on your dog,
to log your steps.

Seventh-degree of laziness
Refusing to learn
what you need to know.
Which includes 
reading instructions 
or asking for directions 
when lost.

Eighth-degree of laziness
Refusing to take part,
in any pleasing sexual act.
(When you don’t give a f**k!)
Not that you can’t 
Get it up!

Ninth-degree of laziness
When you refuse 
to do the chores
that need doing.
Like Grocery shopping,
Cooking dinner.
Walking the dog
or mowing the lawn.

Tenth degree of laziness 
When you are known,
for not returning things 
you have borrowed.

Lol! Robert, I am most definitely not lazy to leave a comment. Your poem is just what I needed to “ kick” start my day. It's too early in the morning to be laughing soo hard. You covered a lot in your funny poem. I can't “ touch” this. I guess I was “too” lazy after all:-) Alexis

Heya Robert, Not sure if this comes under the eighth and forth degree, if there was work in the bed I’d sleep on the floor, a grey area perhaps, but had a good laugh reading this one, hopefully everyone else is not to lazy to leave a comment, cheers David

Thank you, I have a few changes I'm going to make in hopes to make it a little funnier.
