What\'s your nail?

          

\"When you are a hammer everything
looks like a nail\".
For a sailor every boat needs a sail.
To a surgeon problems need be cut out.
If you\'re a victim all you do is pout.
For the anxious it\'s about apprehension.
An actor enjoys attracting attention.
A teacher instructs. The pompous strut.
Mathematicians deduce. Casanovas seduce.
Pugilists fight. Prosecutors indict.
Sinners pray while children play.
Thieves fleece and clergymen preach.
An alcoholic imbibes whilst the poet scribes.
The sad reach for tissues. We all have our issues.
