Wonders of a Sloth

I am a Sloth
Play the "fetch a stick" game with me
You will get that stick back
By the time you look like a raisin

My paw shows the sign of an uptight grandpa
Which is located near my Great Wall of China nails
I use those as a defense mechanism against a threat

If you give me an irate vibe
Who knows, I may leave a beautiful scar
the size of Texas on your dazzling face

I love to dream and dream and dream
Maybe about swimming
Or eating
Or hanging upside down a monkey bar
Or even about my good eagle friends
that take my companions to some unknown vortex

Ah, eagles
You pesky bothersome eagles
Think as if my friends and I are some Nobel prize
won at a book gathering

But don't forget that I am built as a sturdily beast
That can crush you
And send you to that unknown vortex
where my friends are as well

I liked how you compared yourself to a sloth on how slow it moves, how lazy it is, and how it is vicious. This was amazingly beautiful.
