AND...
then what?
is the logical question
we expect a further statement
when AND is used
it implies a followup
something more to come
so we prick up our ears
and get ready for it
AND...when it does come
we are happy to hear
it completes the idea and the sentence
AND that's all I have to say
about AND
BUT then there's BUT
which is even better than AND
and implies an alternative
the real story
BUT is often used in place of And
because it give us an alibi for failure
this poem could have been better
IF I could have worked on it further
but IF is another story altogether
IF only I had the time
I would expound on IF
But the ending is coming around
for this poem
so I have to close AND
leave you hanging
BUT what did you expect
I have no more excuses.
