Answers
'It Couldn't Be Done' by Edgar Albert Guest describes what it takes to do something that has never been done before and prove those who doubt you wrong. The first two stanzas tell of a situation in which an unnamed “Somebody” tries to convince a man that “something” cannot be done
That “cannot be done,” and you'll do it. Rhyme Scheme: This poem has a very familiar rhyme scheme which matches with Guest's theme of relating to the common man. Common measure is what is used, which means that the rhyme scheme follows an ABAB pattern and switches four stressed and three stressed iambic lines
Can't is a word that is foe to ambition; An enemy ambush to shatter your will. It's prey forever to a man with a mission; And bows only to courage, and patience, and skill
