You can't haul Giraffes in a compact car,
you can't bake beans in a jam glass jar,
and you can't pound nails with a candy bar
Unless you wish upon a star.

You can't shovel snow with a willow stick
or sail battleships in the pasture crick.
You can't sew thread with any brick
Until you know the magic trick.

You can't sing songs with a belly ache,
you can't lace shoes with a skinny snake.
You don't eat food with a garden rake
Unless it's Old Merlin's magic cake.
