To try, is just excusing

And preamplifiers your faith in losing

You hesitate and prepare to fail

So you happily stay on your rail

But no good will come of you ‘trying’

You‘ll never get over your fear of flying

‘It’s too big’ you’ll say, ‘I’ll start smaller’

And pretty soon the rest have grown taller

Why settle for high when there is higher

Do you want to remain the good little trier?

Start out by having greater aims

And signify your bolder claims

It’s there to be done, so get on and do it

Try, as a verb, it time we withdrew it

People trying is beginning to bug my

It should only exist as a score in rugby

Let eliminate ‘try’ to just being a fable

And instead of trying you’ll just be able

You’ll no longer be known as the ‘nearly kid’

But the man, who said, he can and did

Change your mentally and to your surprise

Your ‘done’ will outnumber all of your tries
