I'm lazy like a landscape; a calm scene | 1 |
with a bridge, a river, an old stone house, | 2 |
and a thick band of hand-painted sky. | 3 |
Water flows, clouds pass, seasons change, | 4 |
but the picture remains motionless. | 5 |

I once had a wife, Jane, who liked to go out, | 6 |
but I was a homebody. So I told her one day | 7 |
that I was tired of her ways, sleeping in her | 8 |
company was nice, but she never let me sleep; | 9 |
I was her john, her five times a night sex pot. | 10 |
She said, she wearied of me, said I was intolerable: | 11 |
she left me in the local wood, put me out of the door, | 12 |
but I returned, to lose her in the supermarket. | 13 |
