Analysis of One man's junk is another man's jewel
Mike D Johnson 1954 (Tallahassee, Fl)
One man's junk is another man's jewel.
One man's weapon is another man's tool.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
One man's pain is another man's pleasure.
One man's black is another man's white.
One man's wrong is another man's right.
One man's joy is another man's pain.
One man's sunshine's another man's rain.
One man's night is another man's day.
One man's toil is another man's play.
One man's good is another man's bad.
One man's pleased is another man's sad.
One man's need Is another man's money.
One man's solemn another man's funny.
One man's ugly is another man's art.
One man's foolish is another man's smart.
If you look deep into your soul
You can be young, though you are old.
