Analysis of Lazy
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Lazy hazy and busy
Busy sitting down lazily
Lazily gazing amazing flies
Flies flying around his dizzy head
Head rounded, rolled, with matted hair
Hair long uncombed, falling on the hand
Hand roughy, hairy, veiny, and vain
Vain in work other than smoke
Smoking puffs, clouds, fog
Foggy around his head empty
Empty of reason, sense, and thought
Thought! Yes! I thought him
Very lazy!
