Sloth for New National Emblem

I eat and sleep most of the day

Up in my tree is where I stay

I’m named because I move real slow

Upon my fur I watch moss grow

I have so little muscle mass

I rarely move my lazy ass

Instead I hang from this ol’ tree

Just where I am is where I’ll be

I’m just a sloth and not real nimble

I’d make the perfect US symbol!
