What Say You?

Even if you could, you would not pay 40-million

dollars for a Picasso original.

Even if you were able, you would not climb to the

pinnacle of Mt. Everest.

Had you the will and ability, you wouldn’t build a

skyscraper in your own backyard.

Some milk cows in the morning, some pave roadways

in the searing summer’s heat. But not you.

There are just some things you would not nor could

ever do, not for love nor money.

Even on a good day, and even if you could, you would

not eat thirty hot dogs in one sitting.

You thought it was a waste of money to pay $100,000

to have Pavarotti sing arias from famous operas.

Can you dance an Irish stepdance, play a Greek bouzouki,

or sing Moscow Nights in Russian?

Of course not. Besides, so many of these and other activities

are absurd, you say. No one said this was going to be easy.

Try something simple, sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Would you like me to hum a few bars to get you started?
