If Poem by Geoffrey Fafard

If



If is the longest two letter word I know
If is the most complex two letter word I know
If is the saddest two letter word I know
If is the most manic two letter word I know

Who discovered it
Who lent it to the English language
Were they teasing God or
Tempting the Devil?

Lets look at it…

IF you only loved me..Tough one
IF only it wasn't so..Dreamer
IF I had won the money…Oh dear
IF I could live forever…mmh long IF
IF I could have my time over..Why? you ask
IF you just trust me… OK blue eyes
IF I find out I am right..Oh no a dangerous IF
IF it wasn't for this problem.. A defeatist has come
IF its not true
IF its you
IF only
IF.
