Analysis of Epicurean Delight
Eat, drink and be healthy: supervene this prescription.
Life is in the hands of God,
genetics and nutrition.
Run, swim and be hardy: practice an active routine.
Bodies require movement
for good physical hygiene.
Smile, laugh and be happy: display a blithe cheerfulness.
Spirits become uplifted
with jocund humorousness.
Read, write and be heady: render creativity.
Intelligence is enhanced
by mental activity.
Love, care and be steady: form heartfelt relationships.
Feelings forthrightly expressed
augment intimacy-scripts.
Graze, loll and be lazy: luxuriate in resplendence.
"Epicurean delight"
rouses glowing radiance.
