To The Reader Of This Book By Alan L. Strang

          This little book’s a letter,
                I send direct to you;
            I hope that you will like it,
                And read it thru and thru.
            And after you have read it,
                Just send a thot to me;
            Your thots will help to make me
                The “Poet” I would be.

                             Yours very truly,

                                        ALAN L. STRANG,

                             Redwood City, California.
