One of the SONS of Thunder brought home a piece of paper the other day.

Just a few words. But you read it and wonder why you didn’t come up with it. And you read it again and think … that’s dead on.

Anyway, raise a glass to “Can’t.”

Here lies “Can’t”

We are gathered here today to say goodbye.

Can’t has lived a long life.

For years Can’t has been with us and telling us

Things that we cannot do.

From here on out we must remember Can’t is gone!

Can’t is survived by its siblings -

I Can and I Will!

These will be our favorite words from now on.

May Can’t rest in peace!
