Open the Door, See What's Inside

   Hillel the Sage proffers this commonplace
     for the entirety of the human race 
   Never judge your friend
     until you’ve ‘been in his place’

   So, open the door and see what’s inside
     Does tranquility prevail
       or is something cockeyed

   In you, dear reader, I shall confide
    Folks oft remind me of Jekyll and Hyde

Glad you like it, Pange. Your opinion is an accurate one, I think, by the way. Thanks, Gershon
