I'm not yet friends with La_Spice but I saw this little challenge floating around that place and thought I'd have a go:
Work
My father always said
Of all of us at home
That we must’ve been the laziest
Family bar none.
We always got up late
When there was no school
While he would sweat and work and trudge
For him it was the rule.
“Get up you lazy bastards,
Why has God done this to me?
I hate my life, I hate my work
And still have no money.”
His favourite phrase for calling us
I didn’t understand
But I’m ‘pathologically lazy’
And it makes me feel quite grand.
So now here is the irony
Of my dad’s reaction:
He worked so hard
And frowned so hard
And avoided all inaction.
That now I am not that lazy
But remembering my dad
I am now afraid of work
‘Cos he made it look so bad!
