Lazy Bones

Engrossed in the little world on their desk
They stare at the world continually
Sitting on the job courageously
Holding the phone unendingly
At the expense of work assiduously

Again and now for ladies and gents
Reluctantly detached from the world
On the desk and on their ears to trickle in the loo
Or to café Tamam to socially loom
Celebrating their failure with goo

They count the days continually
Waiting for the pay slip periodically
And doing nothing chronically
With a million reasons repetitively
Justifying incompetence persistently

Let it not be said incessantly
That we failed in our mission constantly
But that we rose with the sun persistently
And did our time courageously
In the wasted land of Darfur sporadically
