sidewalks...
Elephants sans "trunks"...
Sorrowful crying hyenas...
Happy and satisfied men...!
Table legs walking,,


Premium Member Turtle and Sloth

The turtle sighed,
"You're going to take too long, aren't you?"
He slandered—yet, not exactly a lie—
The sloths eyes slowly began peer into the distance
As it gathered thought to forge reply

The turtle died

The sloth eyes slowly grew wide—
Not again;
Another friend,
Inhaling deep to sigh

Premium Member The Sin of Sloth

Named sin, the act of sloth we often scorn;
observing, the word lazy comes to mind.
Real sloths, with slow metabolisms, born; 
but our health reasons, oft are not assigned.

Porcupines, Sloths, Bugs

I
Who made the roach and porcupine?
Who made the giraffe and sloth?
Who made mosquito, bug, kine?

II
I might see uses in cattle and kine
Because I need to feed, wine and dine
Will they let me eat bear & porcupine?

III
Some creatures remind us, not about us
The universe feels itself, expresses
And experiences being great or minuscule

IV
If you meet maidens U like, "a beauty"
Don't discriminate if others are plain
Creator who made "mistakes" made me

Premium Member Creatures

Cats are selfish creatures
And as lazy as can be
You can usually find them
Asleep beneath a tree
They are so very lazy
It would be hard to meet
Any other animal
That could compete
A sloth is not so lazy
Just very slow
It will never hurry
And does not understand
The word go
Go where he slowly ponders
Why there and not here
Goodness gracious
What's the rush
You all are *****
Cats, Sloths and other animals
All have their special ways
And this had it's beginning in olden days
