The Implications of Logic     by Sandra DeLozier Coleman

     That p --> q is true,
     Doesn’t say very much about q.
     For if p should be false,
     Then there’s really no loss
     In assuming that q could be, too.  

     On the other hand could be true.
     So, what is a body to do?
     With a false antecedent,
     The consequent needn’t
     Be something one lends credence to!

     If the whole statement’s false, then, my dear,
     There is no ambiguity here!
     For then p must be true,
     But then not so for q.
     I do hope that’s all perfectly clear!
