Sloths

(original poem 5 - couplets/rhyming)

Sometimes I think that I could be a sloth

Hang from a tree and not do a lot

Sleep all day and eat all night

Nobody ever picks a fight

Go to the bathroom once a week

Leaves more time for me to eat

Favourite foods are leaves, twigs and fruit

makes it so that lunch is always a hoot

My head could turn 90 degrees

easier access for munching on leaves

I would always have a smiling face,

creepy or not it cannot be erased

Not very much muscle mass, mostly just claws

I would still hang on when dead, that deserves applause

But I remain a human, stuck on the ground

If I were a sloth I could just lie around

Explanation:

  

This is clearly a poem about sloths! It is written in rhyming couplets. The first line of the second couplet is alliteration, "Not very much muscle mass, mostly just claws."
