Every man

G. Bachlund

Every man has got a hobby,

Every poet has some fault,

Every sweet contains its bitter,

Every fresh thing has its salt.

Every mountain has a valley,

Every valley has a hill,

Every ravine is a river,

Every river is a rill.

Every fool has got some wisdom,

Every wise man is a fool,

Every scholar is a block-head,

Every dunce has been to school.

Every bad man is a good man,

Every fat man is not stout,

Every good man is a bad man

But 'tis hard to find him out.

Every strong man is a weak man,

You may doubt it as you please,

Every well man is a sick man,

Every doctor has disease.
