Sluggard

 
A sluggard is a lazy, indolent person; sxomeone who is perpetually idle or slothful.

"'Tis the voice of the sluggard;
I heard him complain,
You have waked me too soon,
I must slumber again."
Watts - the Divine Songs

  1. Just a great word. So easy to say with disdain. Sluggard! (Sometimes I behave like a slug... I leave a trail.) Sloth is a great word too. I showed my sister from Iowa your blog(s), she may begin to visit too!
