13 Loafers say, "It's dangerous out there! Tigers are prowling the streets!" and then pull the covers back over their heads. 14 Just as a door turns on its hinges, so a lazybones turns back over in bed. 15 A shiftless sluggard puts his fork in the pie, but is too lazy to lift it to his mouth. 16 Dreamers fantasize their self-importance; they think they are smarter than a whole college faculty.
