Doctrinette

In any madness lies a truth
In any truth a madness
In any rudeness something smooth
In any sphere a flatness
In utter virtue badness
In seasoned cruelty callow youth
In any poise hysteria
In artwork no mysteria
In any freedom some obtrusion
In science a core of self-delusion
In sheer anemia blood transfusion
In health lots of bacteria
In any bore a hidden wit

For there is not the slightest bit
Of sense in stating the opposite.
