smile totally free
a sluggard tissue shall die
opinionated
who does not know how to smile!
the rough bold lippy one way
Easy-going Edwin, the engineer, always had an excuse
Too hot, too cold, too short, too tall, coils in the oven are loose.
Chipper, animated, hard-working and lively at his work
But a sluggard, sloth, lazy bones at home; sort of a jerk.
Observe tiny insects, lazybones ; Draw lessons from their diligence

Proverbs 6:v.6 New International Version (NIV)
Go to the ant, you sluggard;consider its ways and be wise!
Shep was a slug-a-bug, a sluggard, a sloth
A do-little, do-nothing, man of the cloth
He cancelled more sermons than he ever wrote
This lazy lay-about did not fool this old goat.
He was a goldbricker at my church too said Lou.
Why do you think I recommended him to you?
Billy Carter was a sluggard I hear
His kinfolk he did not always endear
He embarrassed his brother
And mortified his mother
He cared not one whit as he nursed his beer!

It is you who holds my heart's key and turns me
on with sweetness not seen before in this life.
All my past bad yesterdays are now free
to slip into forgetful sleep loose of strife.
Come here my love and I'll give thee a stout knee
to rest thy self on oh good wife.
Tell this sluggard that Alfred's always for you
and till life ends forever endlessly true.
Wake Up Thou Sluggard!
The Lord surely comes as a thief in the night;
truely now is the day and time to get it right.
By your Faith, seek Him while He may be found;
For perhaps in that Evil Day, you'll still be around
Pray that he hide you in the Shadow of His Wing
to protect you from That Beast; That Host of an Evil Thing!

Why expect a lot from A sluggard:
A trim look, not seeming haggard
And easy win of high regard?
You'd make much of A sluggard
A Great story from Great Harvard
Upon him wait with a staunch guard
And the often - praised by A Bard...
Then, you never knew A sluggard:
From Laziness to Prison Yard
After nice crimes testing, no Yard
Next lazy jailbreak and Graveyard.
It is you who holds my heart’s key and turns me
on with sweetness not seen before in this life.
All of my past bad yesterdays are now free
to slip into forgetful sleep loose of strife.
Come here my love and I’ll give thee a stout knee
to rest thy self on oh good excellent wife.
Tell this sluggard that Alfred’s always for you,
and till life ends forever endlessly true.
When we don’t a lunatic fetter,
Sanity does not look quite better;
When A Sluggard is The Pace Setter,
Things begin to happen much later:
An Aquarian Chosen Go-getter,
A lot tend to be rather wetter;
Everyone A Well-Trained Sharp Shooter
Exchange of Gunfire The Redder;
One deciding to be A Looter
Many Shaky Accounts The Redder …
I’ve told you what usually follow
And why my laughs are sometimes hollow.
There is a point in time,
Where inspiration and guidance is hard to find.
When the words dont seem to make the right rhyme,
At this point in the poets work she can choose to define.
In hopes that she can point out a certain sign,
Searching deep within herself,
To grasp,a unfound wealth.
Coming forth like flowing waters,
Words of new meaning without falter.
Out of the valley of struggle,
She walks forth,
No longer a sluggard.
For a security slot, A Sluggard,
For a praised company, rather haggard:
From long unemployment a drunkard,
Full tankard draining after full tankard.
Also, a listener at nights to Bard
And could Security suspend for Card,
Still, hopefully, he seeks to be her guard:
In many circles this fulfilling dream bared,
Most likely to collapse, if he is barred…
But a company won’t have things snapping
Through a guard sure to be caught just napping!
Amazing indeed are God’s marvelous creatures
Showcased in the Bible with their wonderful features
Serving as good examples
Against slothfulness’ ripples…
I salute the ants* for their great service-gestures!
*Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
