Oh yes. You can.

The Can

Cans can come in many shapes, forms, and sizes.
There are cans of vegetables, fruits, and evaporated milk.
Soda cans.  And then there are cans filled with beer and such.
If you drink too many of those… you will end up in the can.
Or possibly…. if you drink too many of those… you might get canned from your job.

There are watering cans. Oiling cans.  Spray cans. Tennis ball cans.

The Dance.  The Can-Can.

Oh… and don’t forget the ones filled with all sorts of complications…. but we won’t open THAT can of worms.

And then there are the best kind of cans of all.
The kind where you are able-to-do-something-cans.  You know.  The “Yes, you cans.” and the “Yes, I cans.”
It is truly a good thing when we are able to do something, either through our skill, expertise, hard work… or even our shear dumb luck.  We DO, because we can.

Perhaps sometimes we believe, and other times we doubt.  But it is an amazing feeling when we prevail… in any case. That little train that could may have said it best…..  I think I can.  I think I can.

But tonight… this is about all I can come up with.  Uncanny, really.
