Inactive

The day that I am not a lazy ass
Will be a banner day. I don't expect
That it will be too soon; I recollect
Some others who, like me, chewed up the grass
And did not choose to move their bulky mass
While everyone about them was direct
And active: such, as I do, would infect
Their fellows, 'til all were in such a pass.
So I may cause infirmity in others
And make all men sleep lazily all day;
Those who already do so are my brothers,
And our great mother's in a family way,
For this attractive ease completely smothers
The industry of virtue. Let us play.
