A Tiny Taint

In every jar of honey is a speck of pollen,

In every bottle of water a microbe, lying in wait,

In every dish of yogurt are a thousand buds of yeast,

In every book is a sad twist, a sorrowful fate;

In every pretty cake is a pinch of salt,

In every ice cream is artificial paint,

In every gold chain is a bit of copper,

In every great man is a tiny taint.
