Saying You Cant Is a Precursor To Saying You Wont
Saying You Can’t
Is a Precursor to Saying You Won’t
Written: by Tom Wright

To most problems I adopt a pragmatic approach,
Experience is the schoolroom where I was taught.
Knowledge quickly became my first head coach,
And common sense didn’t promote using cannot.
If you’re one to hang your hat on being right,
Saying “I can’t” ensures that you’ll always be.
While correctness may extend to you brief delight,
Transient emotions never make life carefree.
