Ten Commandments

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!
