Analysis of Satisfaction
Settled here within these walls,
Vases overrun,
Mahogany, cedar, silk brocades,
Ambrosia freshly done!
Music raises harmonious hope,
The oven brings repast,
Nuts and whipped cream mixed together
Satisfies at last!
Day is done, the night has come,
Don the floor length gown,
Mired in the flannel sheets,
Comforted by the down!
It’s day, I’m here, the night is gone,
Impressions to arouse,
Rays of sunshine tempt the panes,
Peeping from the clouds!
