Heroics of the times

Oh, hail the champions of the couch potato throne,  
Whose true inspiration is laziness alone!  
From the depths of sloth, great inventions arise,  
A tribute to those who prefer their dreams to the skies.

The remote control, a marvel of our time,  
No more adjusting; we’ve reached our prime!  
With just a flick of the wrist, oh what a delight,  
To change the channel without leaving our site.

Cleaning is tedious or so one did claim,  
So they invented the vacuum, and we’re forever in their fame!  
No more scrubbing and toiling on hands and knees,  
Just let that machine do the work, if you please!

Ah, walking, who wants to do that, I say?  
It’s tiresome and boring, let’s drive instead, hooray!  
With vehicles zooming, we speed past the grind,  
Why take a stroll when you can leave all that behind?

And farming, oh farming, what a back-breaking chore,  
One bright soul thought, “Let’s mechanize more!”  
With tractors and harvesters, the fields are now neat,  
All hail the lazy who made our meals sweet!

So here’s to our sweet lazy folk, we salute you,  
Your capacity for finding ways to do nothing is true!  
With fantastic bliss, you redefine hard work,  
Living is hard enough; let’s not go berserk!

Work smart, not harder, is the motto we cheer,  
Why sweat and toil when the solution is clear?  
With AI to assist, the future is bright,  
Let’s embrace our laziness; it’s our shining light!

Laziness, dear friends, is no longer a jest,  
It’s a celebration of comfort, and we’re truly blessed.  
The bulk of our science, our knowledge, our creed,  
Born of the need to make life easy indeed.

So let’s raise a toast to all those who conspire,  
To find the easiest way, lifting our hearts ever higher.  
Impressive achievements from the effort of none,  
In the heroics of laziness, we’ve already won!
