Here you will find thePoemA Parodyof poet Charles Lamb
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.
