Hanging Out With A Sloth

I’m a sluggish, slow, tree dweller,
In the wild I’m a sight to see.

But I’m pretty good at camouflage,
Which can sometimes be useful for me.

My arms are L-O-N-G and STRONG
for hanging out in trees

where I munch, munch, munch,
through my lazy lunch
of tough and fibrous leaves

For up to twenty hours a day
you are sure to find me resting.

I spend a lot of time asleep,
very sl-o-w-ly, d-i-g-e-s-t-i-n-g.

I climb down from the treetops
once a week, to poop and pee.

That’s quite a lot of build up
For a little guy like me.

I like a swim because, it seems,
my diet causes bloating,

and with lots of gas in my tummy
I’m rather good at floating.

I know my life is super slow
And really rather boring.

Thanks for hanging out with me,
but now I see your yawning
