Can Factory

Can you cancan

  in the can factory

Can you factor in

  the tin can not

  the tin man

  no lubrication needed

  ever just a heart

Can you grow a heart

Can you know a heart

Can the soda

Can the beans

Can the fruit

Can the jams

Can we dance

  in tin can alley

Can we canter

  in the valley

Can we walk the red carpet

  at the festival in Cannes

Can we in all candor

Can we

Can do

Can we can it

  or do we just

Can it perhaps

  in the cantina.

So Tweetspeak Poetry has a prompt about bottles and cans, or bottled and canned. Or perhaps bottled or canned. I told myself, I can do this. Can’t I? Can’t we?

If Allen Toussaint says we can, then Yes, We Can Can.
