I Am a Sloth a Slob a Slug
I am a sloth, a slob, a slug
During the summer when school is out.
I move in slow motion from chair to couch to bed.
I am in the throes of binge eating –
sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar and salt.
pie, cake, cinnamon rolls, pie, cake and chips.
I am sluggish.
I have gained eight pounds in the eight pounds I have been home
I can barely waddle from the living room couch to bed.
I am wearing an oversized purple and red mumu now.
You could fit a small calf in here with me but I may grow into it.
I am a sloth, a slob, as slug
During the summer when school is out.
