Rotund Stonewashed and Shiftless

It was Alison from Teachit that suggested I go to OED's word of the day for inspiration for my next poem.   Well, thanks Alison.  Today I find shiftless there. First definition = Helpless for self-defence; void of cunning or artifice. Obs. I especially like the Obs.  Two previous words of the day are Stonewash and Rotund.  I can see a rotund male in his stonewashed jeans being a bit shiftless - but is that enough to get me started?   Especialy when I often go on about writing 'honestly'.    How can I make myself care about this rotund shiftless stonewashed person?  

I may be some time.....
