Hobson's Choice

Professor, therapist, author and poet.






When up and down are splendid
When in and out are square
When left and right are candid Hobson's choice is fair

When up and down are harmful
When in and out are mad
When left and right are hurtful Hobson's choice is bad

When up and down are thrilling
When in and out are mine
When left and right are willing Hobson's choice is fine

When up and down are torrid
When in and out are wile
When left and right are horrid Hobson's choice is vile

When up and down are wealthy
When in and out are spice
When left and right are healthy Hobson's choice is nice

When up and down are cunning
When in and out are sly
When left and right are gunning Hobson's choice is tie
