The Great Laze-aholic

I wake in the morning to brilliant sun,

And turn over again, ‘cause my bed’s much more fun.

My friends come around and say’ “Come out and play!”

But playing’s hard work, and I’d much rather stay

Here at home, and just lounge by the fire all day long,

With the dog, we’ll just listen to our favourite song.

I have some maths homework, but I think I’ll choose

To go back to my bed, ‘cause it’s time for a snooze.

I know I should study for next Monday’s test,

But I can’t help myself, see, I just need a rest.

After that, then I'll put on my best thinking cap,

But before I start thinking I’ll need a quick nap.

I owe Auntie June a nice long thank-you letter

For the present she gave me, but sleeping’s much better.

I’d love to play football, to run and to skip -

I’ll do it just after a much needed kip.

My folks have gone out to the town’s big fiesta,

But I haven’t got time, ‘cause I need my siesta.

I told Mum and Dad I’ve a touch of the colic,

I don’t know if they’ve guessed; I’m the Great Laze-aholic!
