Charles Lamb - A Parody
Work rating: Medium

Lazy-bones, lazy-bones, wake up and peep;
The Cat`s in the cupboard, your Mother`s asleep.
There you sit snoring, forgetting her ills:
Who is to give her her Bolus and Pills?
Twenty-five Angels must come into Town,
All for to help you to make your new gown—
Dainty aerial Spinsters & Singers:
Aren`t you asham`d to employ such white fingers?
Delicate Hands, unaccustom`d to reels,
To set `em a washing at poor body`s wheels?
Why they came down is to me all a riddle,
And left hallelujah broke off in the middle.
Jove`s Court & the Presence Angelical cut,
To eke out the work of a lazy young slut.
Angel-duck, angel-duck, wingèd & silly,
Pouring a watering pot over a lily,
Gardener gratuitous, careless of pelf,
Leave her to water her Lily herself,
Or to neglect it to death, if she chuse it;
Remember, the loss is her own if she lose it.
