Patterned Sloth
he is lounging in the tree, snoring away
yes, it is patterned sloth, enjoying his day
how did he get painted? a child asks me.
An artist and paints went up in the tree.
Does he ever come down? the child asked.
Not really because that would be a task.
The sloth spends his day, enjoying his life.
He is too lazy to work or take a wife.
