A NOTE FROM THE POET
Dear reader, I consider thee a friend,
Therefore I urge thee: do not feel compelled
To read this book of verses start to end,
Lest they into some senseless mess should meld.
On nerdish themes my mind is wont to brood
Such that thy wasted time thou might’st begrudge;
The baffled soul who ne’er The West Wing viewed
Would through the corresponding sonnet trudge.
Thus do I bid he turn to page eleven
Who would of Queen Beyoncé gladly read,
While she who Netflix doth declare a heaven
Should right away to one-and-twenty speed.
Pray see my work as but a playful pool:
Dip in and out, as doth your fancy rule.
