\nis legs above head \u2013 not his own legs, of course –
\nand being the slothiest of sloths he\u2019ll lunch
\nat the laziest of leisure; a real underachiever.<\/p>\n
\nwhose tongues are prized as mere limbs
\nobtaining tasteless leaves beyond their can\u2019t be arsed
\nreach, Sloth revels in the rainforest-wet of his reward;<\/p>\n
\nAnd don\u2019t be duped to think that starburst effect
\ncunted down thighs, up spine, out to tips of digits,
\nor any echoed cries from the canopy above enough<\/p>\n
\nthan awake, face already tucked into his second course.<\/p>\n
