We Do What We Can and Can What We Do

The beautiful thing about a question is that it implies, by its nature, that another step must be taken.  Billy says he has a song but no melody.  (Funny because he's singing a song with a melody at the same time he's telling us that he has no melody.  How many times have we all said that we can't do something while we are in the process of actually doing it?)
