“A body at rest tends to remain at rest….” <br />My body seems to do that best <br />My wife insists I rest too long <br />Her critical appraisal may not be wrong <br />Lethargic I may be, but I enjoy it <br />Inertia's for me, so I employ it <br /> <br />What’s wrong in resting as I please? <br />It's not a crime or a disease <br />If I could have my way <br />I'd be resting every day <br />Lethargy's for me, I'm no go-getter <br />Inertia, that's me, down to the lazy letter <br /> <br />To sleep the day away is wonderfully relaxing <br />Working every day is energetically too taxing <br />I've never been too tightly wound <br />I have no urge to rush around <br />Inertia fills my fond desires <br />Tranquillity is all this lad requires<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inertia-4/
