Nothing is impossible

I have been calling this a Haiku, but it's technically a Senryu.

Nothing is too hard
if you are not the person
who has to do[/bear] it.

A haiku is a short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature or the season intuitively linked to the human condition.

A senryu is a poem, structurally similar to haiku, that highlights the foibles of human nature, usually in a humorous or satiric way.
