3. The Impossible Things - Part 21

There are no hittable strides
If you are always lagging behind.
There are no unhirable guides,
But be certain he won’t go it blind.
There are no unmarryable brides
If a suitor does not change his mind.
There are no untannable hides:
By strong fists anyone can be signed.

There are no unmockable humps,
But to laugh at misfortune is base.
There are no ungettable lumps
If there’s no favor but fall from grace.
There are no unformable dumps:
It can be done with any clean place.
There are no ungrubbable stumps
If your garden needs more planted space.

There are no standable Sams
If to pay there’s no money or wish.
There are no unslaughterable lambs
If there’s no Isaac to be a dish.
There are no unnoticeable shams
If you can see a thing’s a pastiche.
There are no uncannable clams,
But who knows if you’ll like those shellfish?

There are no unshowable faces,
But you may answer for having the cheek.
There are no unvisitable places
If you’re on travels week after week.
There are no unfollowable traces
If some fucker put you up the creek.
There are no unpressable cases
If your arguments are never weak.

There are no coolable heats
For a lot of youths ready to act.
There are no unaccomplishable feats
If your soldiering just makes you cracked.
There are no unlosable seats
For the untrustworthy, that’s a fact.
There are no unexposable cheats,
Though they can make too many lives wrecked.
