Being Lazy Makes Life Lousy

Being lazy digs a huge grave

For our peace and won't save

A lazy fellow is never brave

He is to fate a submissive slave

 

Taking action he will shun

Success shows him no affection

God gives him no protection

He belongs to the losing section

 

A lazy man gets no sweats

Tears become his constant assets

He uses buts and loses guts

He is depressed for lack of outlets

He lies lethargically in his bed

To be passive, thinks his head

Mentally he is almost dead

His is a very negative blood

 

Great chances he regularly misses

He is deprived of victory's kisses

A working mind, he does not possess

He never gets success as a bonus

 

His brain is so lazy *** idle

Everything is to him a riddle

He is afraid of every hurdle

His life, fate will finely meddle

 

Work makes him fear and faint

Gloom only his thoughts paint

Against him accumulates complaint

His mind, laziness will strongly taint

 

Progress tells him good-bye

He is an unattractive guy

His life-river is ever dry

Only laziness, he can supply

 

Idleness may be initially jolly

But it is not at all holy

Angels like it not wholly

Unless he starts a venture newly

 

If laziness is away kicked

Losses can be wisely licked

If laziness is wrongly picked

By fate, lazy man is tricked.
