Analysis of Every Bee Has Its Bonnet
Every path has its puddle. Every rose has its thorn.
Every life has its muddle.
There's no reason to scorn.
Every moon has its phases. Every tide has its sea.
Every life has its mazes.
There's no reason to flee.
Every bow has its fiddle. Every song has its tune.
Every life has its riddle.
There's no reason to swoon.
Every cake has its batter. Every egg has its yoke.
Every life has its tatter.
There's no reason to croak.
Every scheme has its prospect. Every aim has its hold.
Every life has its defect.
There's no reason to fold.
Every ship has its rudder. Every spoor has its guide.
Every life has its shudder.
There's no reason to hide.
Every church has its steeple. Every faith has its creed.
Every life has its people.
There's no reason to plead.
Every game has its hero. Every loss has its pain.
Every life has its zero.
There's no reason to wane.
Every boon has its bonus. Every dog has its day.
Every life has its onus.
There's no reason to fray.
Every bee has its bonnet. Every sting has its itch.
Every life has its sonnet.
There's no reason to ditch.
