A Preface Poem
what words come first what words a preface make will they say
what comes next or how it ends or what you should expect
is it like an introduction this is blank how you today
i answer i am fine and you
i wait for the answer when polite society suggests
don’t say anything that will offend keep it short don’t get involved
don’t give yourself away in a preface should we give it all away
then no need to read further the preface tells it all a golden nugget
slipped into the pocket which i hope i will not lose
or is it like the front door always open an invitation to learn more
