Summing Up By a Sloth

I’m not here, just to make up life’s numbers 
     I’m here, because I found a niche to chill 
     Through hustle and bustle, I can slumber 
  And whilst you count sheep, I’ll be snoring still

No stress, maybe they know, more than the human race. Like this, David, goes deeper than first thought...Harry

Thanks Harry, I indeed intended it to be lighthearted with a little depth and perhaps a message to us headless chickens, cheers David
