When a human being is slothful, essential physical functions take on increased significance. Please understand that the second "I" isn't me.<br />EARL GRAY Slothful sod!<br />MOUNTAIN THYME Of course neither of the I's in the poem refer to me. The poem is simply "about" the sloths of South America and the sin of sloth in fragmented western society - a certain aimlessness. Regarding sloth sex - I am sure it lasts for ages if they can be bothered to find a partner. They probably fall asleep in the middle of the fun.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-32888782777272026422012-10-22T22:42:35.106+01:002012-10-22T22:42:35.106+01:00Hi Mr. Pudding.

After reading your sloth poem a couple of times, I think I understand it, but I still don't "get" it. I just don't identify with your definition of sloth! Or slothiness! Oh, well. Each to their own! <br /><br />(By the way, if they only shit once a week, can you imagine what their sex lives must be like!! Must take them a damn month to complete that task, what?)<br />Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-53099769944014785762012-10-22T15:48:39.809+01:002012-10-22T15:48:39.809+01:00I started to read it YP but just couldn't be b...I started to read it YP but just couldn't be botheredJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-65633299706998000872012-10-22T13:05:01.045+01:002012-10-22T13:05:01.045+01:00TMI....TMI....rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.com
