Lackadaisical
If you're lacking spirit. If you're lacking zest.
You are lackadaisical and fail the true test.
If you're simply shiftless. If you're simply vain.
You are lackadaisical and a clear-cut pain.
If you're acting languid. If you're acting tired.
You are lackadaisical and need to be fired.
If you're only slothful. If you're only slow.
You are lackadaisical and drift in the flow.
If you're shirking effort. If you're shirking toil.
You are lackadaisical and source labor foil.
If you're merely vacant. If you're merely void.
You are lackadaisical and not ever buoyed.
If you're feeling listless. If you're feeling limp.
You are lackadaisical and a fruitless wimp.
If you're purely lazy. If you're purely lax.
You are lackadaisical and warrant the axe.
