Can you ?

Can you? Won't you? Will you ?

Hey ! can you do that ?
Could you please shoo the cat ?

Will you fix dinner with lots of baked fish ?
sorry , I'm busy , I can't wash the dish

Did you remember to pay the electricity bills
And hope you'll make sure to mend the window sills !

Oh ! I'm tired, can you bring me some coffee ?
Can't you dress well ? you do look so sloppy !

I'm going out now ,can you take the dog for a walk?
Will you buy the groceries, shop is just down the block !

Have you taught the kids for their exams tomorrow ?
Go meet the neighbors with these books they wanted to borrow !

Hey ! dear husband ! will you please give her a break ?
I guess it's only so much that your dear wife can take !
