Degrees of Laziness Part Two

Ladies and gentlemen 
some of us are happy 
there is no cure
for laziness. So...
After enjoying a state 
of procrastinated paradise,
I finally got around to adding 
more to the
degrees of laziness


11th degree of laziness
When you have 
a morning appointment
And you cancel or change it 
at the last minute,
Because you don’t feel like
getting up that early.

12th degree of laziness 
When you know someone 
who needs their ass whipped.
And you haven’t gotten 
around to it yet.

13th degree of laziness 
When you let the dog out, 
instead of putting him on a leash 
to take-’em for a walk.

14th degree of laziness
Is when you use the dishes 
from the dishwasher, 
Without unloading it. 
and the same as said 
for not folding your clothes 
when you take them out 
of the Dryer.

15th degree of laziness
When you procrastinate 
to the point you think it’s 
it’s good for you.

16th degree of laziness
When you totally depend 
on one person to do 
everything for you,
Feeling like you can’t do 
without this person.

17th degree of laziness 
When your caught without 
a hunting, fishing or driver’s License.

18th degree of laziness 
Knowing you have 
no such thing,
You call into work 
Reporting that you have 
a disease from a pandemic. 

19th degree of laziness 
Turning off your phone 
when you’re on call for work 
or official duties.

20th degree of laziness 
When you train 
your three-year-old
Granddaughter
To do chores 
that you don’t want do.
(Like find the TV remote control)
(Pick things up from the floor 
so you don’t have to bend over)

21st degree of laziness 
Wishing you were rich
So, you can sit on your behind
And do nothing
Paying your help very well
to do things for you.
