Larry Lonondinger

Larry Lonondinger
as lazy as a man can be
let’s walk through a week with him
and we will surely see

On Monday
he does no work at all
claiming it is healthier
to start things with a crawl

On Tuesday he pretends to work
but nothing moves along
that’s because he thinks
the week is very long
Larry, he is quite skilled and deft
at counting days that are still left

On Wednesday you would think
his excuses would run out
but not with Larry, not at all
with him they sprout and sprout
oh today I am quite tired
or, it is very cold
or, I ate too much for breakfast
or, this pen is far too old

On Thursday there’s a turn
a switch, a counterpart
now it isn’t too soon to begin
it is now too late to start!

On Friday, well, what’s the point?
the week is nearly done
why start now, it’s best to wait
On Monday we start our new run

it isn’t only weekdays
that we see old Larry laze
the weekends soon become
a slothful, idle haze

On Saturday
the errands — they will have to wait
for now Larry needs to rest
the fatigue of the work week — so great!

On Sunday — well, that’s a rest day
we can’t expect that he would work!
to even ask the question!
are you some kind of jerk!?

and then right back to Monday
the week begins again
there is Larry Lonondinger
the most lazy of all men!!
