BY

Not bye but hello to 
all the bywords begun 

here and those by and 
by, some right now 

cursor-hatched, ready 
to butterfly your screen 

free-byte wings you 
don't even need to buy 

                  but by the by 
                  whatever bys here- 

                  in appear, stop by 
                  pay your respects 

                  to the old colonel 
                  the guy who asks 

                  where's the byline 
                  better than By?
