Lens cloths
Pencils
Discarded cookie fortunes
Both new and used Q-Tips
And some rolled away Tums antacids
So is the picture of the catch all desk
The one with the old computer on it
The one with the half finished Erector set train on it
The one that doubles as a clean clothes waystation
For after folding
But before putting away
A place to rest
A place to stay
Never to be properly stowed
Until chanced upon in a minute of need
Then picked up, thrown on, and worn
This is what sloppiness breeds
This is the desk of sloth
Cute but oh so slow
To do anything of consequence
And the worst part is that he knows
But he doesn't care
For he is sloth
And by the time he cares
It doesn't matter anymore anyways
