[hometext] => this is the last deadly sin for awhile
[bodytext] => The bear shuns the world for a winters tale Of shut eyes and slow breaths Of wonderfully languid sleep Of starvation and mirrored death. The world continues to rock and rumble Outside the sealed caves It buffets and blows but to no avail Shunned it remains. The vision of remaining Tucked warmly away from view Hiding from your problems Responsibilities eschewed Leaving the world for a winters tale How you redeem your bountiful summer By slaving away with endless hours of shut eye Ignoring work and play Why should one such creature Miss the struggles and pain Why should such a being Think its solitude was an excuse to hide its lazy ways The sloth inside the bear doth hide And every winter’s day Does keep the bear restrained and still And helps it lose its age.
