All I can think is I can't

I can't

I cannot do it

I'm the type who says I can't and

Still tries anyway

                       But this time

                            I really can't

...

I can

I can climb Mt. Everest

Swim laps in the Dead Sea

The River Euphrates

The River Styx

I can learn to lasso a cow

Ride horse bareback

Walk a tightrope

I can

I can do all those things...

 

But I just cannot live with that man
