Lazy Bones was his name.

He was bone lazy

and full of bones.

He was so bony

and so lazy

that people thought,

“How could someone who is so lazy be so bony?”

And others thought,

“How could someone who is so bony be so lazy?”

“Hereditary” they said.

He got his mother’s bony genes and

his father’s lazy genes.

Or was it the other way around?

He always thought that his name on his

birth certificate was Lazy Bones.

But, it wasn’t til later in life that he

found out his real name was Graham Jones.

“What am I to do now?” he thought.

He was no longer who he thought he was, you see.

“I can be whoever I want to be”

And suddenly, he felt very at ease.
