Definition: A preparation for a main matter; an introduction.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a peek, At the word “preliminary,” clever and sleek! The dictionary's right, it gives us a clue, It's like a practice run, shiny and new. Think of it this way, a little taste before, A warm-up exercise, wanting more! "Preparation for a main matter," you see, Like rehearsals for a play, wild and free. An "introduction” too, a starting line, Before the big event, truly divine! It sets the stage, it gives you a start, A stepping stone to play a vital part. So “preliminary” means: before the core, Something that comes first, and asks for more! Do you have any questions about this rhyme?
