Pleasure Is His Treasure

He lights cigarettes not his regular,
The Poorest Tobacco making popular,
For it parting with hard earned chinks 
And its service enjoying with blinks;
Beer not his proclaimed Brand 
Still finds its way into his hand;
To its bringer The Longest Hug,
Much of the beer spilled on a rug …

A woman in the skin-tight
Has made her flaws light, 
He willing to be quiet
And concentrate on inner riot …

He is The Permissive Hedonist,
Not qualified to rubbish An Animist:
Feeder on Worldly Pleasures,
Bat-blind to other treasures.
