J for Judicious in the Quest to be Healthy
the 12 given words:
count insignificant lavish iris reflection grovel
penny-gush ((n.) exaggerated stories or tales)
assign girl peak
occhiolism ((n.) the awareness of the smallness of your perspective)
mutable ((adj.) subject to change, fickle)
It might count as insignificant
A moot point so to speak
To lavish all the superlatives
he could think of
Piled up just on her attractive eyes
He ought to be forgiven
Her alluring come-hither-look
The clear blue-green iris very much rare
But very much a reflection of wanting to
grovel in the mud when the lights turn green
The eyes made all the difference
He listened but more to a penny-gush
An occhiolism beyond his dignified person
not unduly mutable
He assigned lots of respect to his girl
His desire to peak their relationship first
before popping the question
A sage had made that insistence before
There was a lot more of love to cherish
than to succumb to base tendencies
before marriage
The sage said that and unlike the sage
he was not even a religious freak!
