IT COULDN'T BE DONESomebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be oneWho wouldn't say so till he'd tried.So he buckled right in with the trace of a grinOn his face. If he worried he hid it.He started to sing as he tackled the thingThat couldn't be done, and he did it.Poem by Edgar GuestEdgar Albert Guest (1881- 1959) was a British-born American poet who became known as the People's Poet. His poems often had an inspirational and optimistic view of everyday life. Most often, his poems were fourteen lines long and presented a deeply sentimental view of everyday life. He considered himself "a newspaper man who wrote verses." Of his poems he said, "I take simple everyday things that happen to me and I figure it happens to a lot of other people and I make simple rhymes out of them." REFLECTION:What have you done that others said couldn't be done?Is there something you "believe" can't be done?Can you go at it again... this time singing as you tackle it?
