"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.

Thanks "A" We are what we are and it conditions how we act and react. We have some for Chemists (I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemisty ~ UK) Chemists do it Radioactively ~ Chemists do it Periodically and Chemists do it Exothermicly. That refers to whatever it is we're doing ! Thanks for your poem ~ very humorous and it does explain a lot of things. Chemists are also very ELEMENTAL ! Yours BRIAN
