You Know

"You know it can't be done."

  " I know but it could be fun to try."
         
         "Why?" he questioned with that stupid grin
that I could't stand. 

   "Why what?"

" Why bother" he shot back.
"Because I'm alive" I said.

  "That's so much jive" he laughed.
(Did he have a better plan?)

   "Do you have a better plan?"

        "Nothing I can think of."
"Then let me be"

   "You know it can't be done." he hissed.
"Your like a crashing crescendo" I Said somewhat rashly.
    
     " You know it can't be done."

So what's the harm in having fun?
