An Ode to Sloths

"The Little Sloth's a thing of FUR

and hair that grows in bangs

He hardly moves or shakes or STIRS

on the branch from which he hangs"

So goes the scrawled poem on a page of my college notebook, when I was supposed to be paying attention to art history.  The original scribbled notebook entry was circa 1999, I thought it warranted a brand new illustration with full color treatment.
