Oh, my word, that tiger's lazy! <br />Has he lost all his powers? <br />Or perhaps he's just plain crazy? <br />He hasn't moved for hours! <br />I know there's snow upon the ground <br />And there's not much to do, <br />Yet there he stays like he's snow bound <br />And hasn't got a clue! <br /> <br />D'you think he's hungry just like me? <br />Or has he had his fill? <br />He lays there like he's fancy free <br />And like he always will... <br />I've never seen the like before, <br />No point in taking pics! <br />He's absolutely quite the bore, <br />I'm twiddling thumbs for kicks! <br /> <br />Hey, you! Wake up and do something! <br />Get off your derriere! <br />Excuse me, pal, for wondering, <br />But please get up from there! <br />Oh, Lord, he's really moving fast! <br />Well, how was I to know? <br />OK, the time for jokes is past, <br />We've really got to go! <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright, November 2013. <br /> <br /> <br />A second poem based on the magnificent painting <br />by Stephen Gayford called 'Lazy Days'. <br /> <br /> <br />More Stephen Gayford poems here: <br />denis-martindale-dot-blogspot-dot-com<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lazy-days-8/
