Doing The Thing That Can Not Be Done
Somebody said that it coulcn't be done.
Put he. with a chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't— but he'd not be one
Who'd say so-'til he tried.
So he buckled right m with the trace of a grin
On his face If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing, as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done —and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: Oh, you'll never do that.
At least, no one ever has done it;"
Hut he took off his coat, and he took off hia hat.
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift tu his chin and a bit of a grin.
Without any doubting or "quit it."
He started to sing as he tacklrd the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Take off your coat and go to it; just start in to sing
As you tackle the thing that can't be done
And-YOU'LL DO IT Anon.
HURRY UP
Not that there is any danger of all
these nice fresh
GROCERIES
being gone, but because you NEED
them right now in your homes
and on your table
Know the reason our Groceries are al-
ways FRESH? It's because they
don't lie in the house long
enough to grow stale
