Alexander Downie - Opinions

Opinions are like a s and one thing is true,
we all have at least one and others more than a few.
Opinions are like rusty knives that cut without looking,
causing wounds to fester and needless bleeding.

Opinons are like coal rubbed into fresh white cotton,
scrub how you will, it remains tarnished and rotten.
Opinions without fact are what fools stutter best,
skewd opinions are not not helpful so give it a rest!
