Wise was his word / Wise was he not

A wise man once said,

“Strive to achieve the impossible.”

But alas, he died jumping off a cliff trying to fly.

And so it just goes to show you,

a wise man is still judged on his words

and not his actions.

And so this wise man declares,

“Shouldn’t it be the other way around!?”
