The Result
Zero zilch nada
She could have worked harder
Procrastination was her game
That's what lead her to shame
When the results came in
She recognized her sin
Though shalt not play the sloth
Do not play the sloth
Let not that be your lot

I read your quadrille aloud, Gillena, and it’s like a skipping rhyme. Nothing wrong with being an occasional sloth, just not all the time.

Some good advice, Gillena, though as others have noted, there's nothing wrong with being a sloth sometimes. 😊
