Laziness gets a brand new home

The socks drying on the sofa

weren't actually supposed to be there

but I didn't feel like picking them up.

The papers scattered on the floor

were supposed to be in the chests

but why bother picking them up.

There is no confusion in my life

when it comes to doing the daily chores

I get lazy as you like and that is all.

The smart little cellphone lying on the bed
should have been plugged in for power

The chap I see in the mirror

should have already been in shower

There is no day when I don't worry

about the time which soon will come

when I'll have to slog it out

or I won't be paid a any sum.

The closet where my clothes are kept

is quite unkempt

You can't tell the lower from the jacket

they all look the same to me

and it's only when I uncrumple them that

they tempt.

I havn't washed my jeans for months

what do I care?

I bought it when it looked light blue

now it's a little darker than Delhi's air.

Once on a weeked a ventured out for a trek

and with the mud the shoes got soiled

I even managed to skid on the hill

as a result the shirt got spoilt

Why to wash it

when it won't harm anyone

except for may be the hostess out there

who won't want dirty shoes to make way into the layer

The books lying in a towering pile
should have been on the shelves
the mantelpiece which is quite out place on the flowerpot
should have been with the elves
The jeans are not pressed the shirt isn't ironed
but I read somewhere they can do without it.
There's a little dust which has accumulated on my dvd player
Why do we have to clean up things, life isn't fair.

There is a small hole in my socks but I won't change them
If the sheets are lying unnoticed why should I arrange them
Shaving your beard is a cumbersome thing
why can't they let us grow it?
Why do we have to change the tyre
shouldn't we be allowed to tow it?

Who needs to hurry up when there's no particular good in it?
Why should we catch the first local ?
Heaven's gates are not going to be closed.

Let me dry my hair in the sun
don't hand me a dryer.
There's no bomb waiting to be diffused
I don't have to cut any red wire.

Why should there be long queues outside eateries ?
why do they wait for hours just to eat and it's not even free!

The moment the train arrives they make a dash for the door
I hate this silly habit....completely abhor
There's no one chasing your asses and your seats are reserved
and there is no prize for reaching there first
I haven't seen anyone who deserved.

When the same train stops at the station
and they know it's the last stop
they still run for the door
some run , stumble and some hop.

That poor door is just 4 feet wide
and their waists aren't twenty four
what's the need to make haste
it makes waste now we know for sure.

In a function where a buffet is served
they keep lingering by it's side
when the covers they open for consumption
they converge on them like a tide.

Oh! Yes the food may run out
and to be sure they don't get food at home
it's for the first time they have seen those dishes
and may be it's their last time to hog
before they get deported from Rome.

Always in a hurry
on roads in offices and in bed
how will they ever rest in peace
they'll be called the hurrying dead.

Scampering past the barricades to hear the leader speak
breaking queues in temples to His blessings seek.

I don't recommend hurry no Sir
except when you get Nature's call
and when you go to attend it
take it easy and finish it all,
there's no Nobel prize waiting for you
if you pee in haste
and don't you excrete with an alarm bell
no time you will waste.

Listen up when you take your bath
use up little water but a lot of time
use up an hour to massage your head
don't worry it is no crime.

Yawn as if it were a sacred ritual
smile for at least 7 minutes in a go
when you eat chew as if you are a camel
the office will still be there
it has no place else to go.

Sleep like a log
rest like a dog
and rise up like a dale.

Laziness is actually a virtue
which the intolerant call a vice
if you can be just a little lazy
you won't even have to pay the price.
