 Man skips work for(at least) 6 years 


Perhaps many people would be jealous

Of someone who was one of those fellows

Who manage never  to work, yet are unafraid

To collect a salary which they're paid.


But in Spain they may do it with such zesta

That it even includes a mandatory siesta.

And apparently,

 this fellow used the rest of his day around the doze--a

Quite  philosophically, by  carefully studying Spinoza.

Whose greatest and deepest ethical postulates

seemed to go well with cervezas* and chocolates.

PS: 

But before we accuse this man of  stealing many a  mother's milk

Please remember, we Americans often vote for those of similar ilk.
