Good wine needs no bush, And a Preface wont push A bad book into notice a good one cant need it But the Publisher hints, That whatever lie prints Has always a Preface, though no one may read it. So the Author complies, As he audibly sighs, And resignedly turns up the whites of his eyes ;I nthe ink his pen dives At the task as he strives Needs must when unpleasant necessity drives.
