If You Can

If you can motivate,
If you can articulate,
If you can stimulate,
If you can assimilate,
If you can fascinate,
If you can extrapolate,
If you can tolerate,
If you can decorate
If you can investigate,
If you can mitigate,
If you can regulate,
If you can demonstrate,
If you can clean a slate,
If you can stay up late,
If you can refuse to capitulate,
If you can increase the pass rate,
If you can control your heart rate,
If you can manage when your pay is late,
Then teaching you should contemplate.
