Lazy dog’s lament

The busy ones the fast breeder reactors always amaze me:

the ermine’s slick white rope- trick of a body vanishing into the snow

a hummingbird threading the hundred eyes of a woodlot without slowing down

the manic shrew like a heat- seeking missile & yes the quick brown fox

ah I am nothing but a speed bump on a log a lazy dog

but I figure someone has to sit at the center of the maze they make.
