Can and Will are cousins dear
are never out of Luck.
for Can is the child of energy.
and Will is the child of Pluck.

Can't and Won't are cousins too.
are always out of work.
For Can't is the child of never try.
and Won't is the child of shirk.

When choosing your companions dear.
choose both Will and Can.
but turn aside from Can't and Won't.
if you will be a Man
Written by my "father" shortly before his death in the early 1980s.
the sum total of his life were these few words.
