Ode To Idleness Poem by Phil Ward

Ode To Idleness



Never let it not be said,
That I like to lie in bed,
Hour on hour I love to laze,
And sleep away my working days.

I've heard that it is good for me,
If fit and bright I want to be,
To rest my bones, do what I choose,
That's what I think, any excuse.

Now in my easy chair I sit,
Do I regret it? Not a bit?
Old and chilling out for God,
Yes I'm just an idle sod.

Me too - but I'm retired so I guess it's okay! !
