Consider the folly of a man in his twenties
Who believes he has wisdom well beyond his years,
Who doesn't yet understand that
Some things are simply impossible to do ...
So he does them.

The best way to get someone to do something is to tell them that can't .
Thank you swingline, outback, and diamond for these kind comments.
So true.
Ah, youth! Much enjoyed.
I certainly did things then which I can't do now. Great piece.
They asked if he’d done
Things that could be done
And yes he had done
And they said can you do
Things that cannot be done
And he said he would do
And he did and he failed.
Thank you all for your valued comments!
When the impossible is done it becomes part of life's experience and without experience we would not progress. Good write.
wise words, as a 20 year old man, this hits quite deep.
My gratitude for these kind words, everyone. Thanks for your comments.
