(A proofreader's note regarding “forego” and “forgo”)

A thing that precedes may be said to “forego”
As long as the “e” is kept;
Renouncing the “e” means going without,
So sad that “forgo” will have wept.

The clue is the prefix with meaning before,
As “fore” tells the tale of its time.
The clearly “foregone” has already occurred,
No matter the vibe or the clime.
