It?

Vincent Lamo 1938 (HTFD.,CT.)



What is: IT?

What is the antecedent to it ?
Or is there a better way to ask?
Let’s pluralize the question  of it
To see if mind can conquer the task

Why is it ? How is it ?Where is it ?
When is it ?Who is it ?What is it ?
Would it ? Could it ? Should it ?
Will it ?
Has it?

We really must think about it
So many antecedents
So little time
