3. The Impossible Things - Part 14

There are no unfindable picks
If your mind can choose out a whole lot.
There are no unreleasable flicks
If no money or talent you’ve got.
There are no uncuttable sticks
If courageous and strong you are not.
There are no undroppable bricks
If you’re tactless, though not off your dot.

There are no throwable stones
If you are a sinner, old and dire.
There are no unloanable loans
If there’s things which you need to acquire.
There are no uncastable bones
If you can’t stop to want to fly higher.
There are no unutterable groans
Of the wounded after a strong fire.

There are no unfillable pauses
If you like to talk passionately.
There are no unbeatable forces
If there’s strength, faith and audacity.
There are no unaccountable causes
To “There was never love inside me.”
There are no unfloggable horses,
But if it’s dead, don’t beat zealously.

There are no castable pearls
If there’s no swine to cast them before.
There are no unadmirable girls,
Something’s always in them to adore.
There are no unarrangeable whirls
If your brain is not often too poor.
There are no uncontemptible churls
If coarseness does not lie at your door.

There are no uncatchable birds
If you need no chaff and you’re no worm.
There are no unchasable skirts
If you’re Don Juan or won’t be alone.
There are no unpronounceable words,
But beware of raising a great storm.
There are no unstrippable shirts
If you’ve not enough money at home.
