Love to help you guys but I'm still trying to figure out what the meaning of "IS" is.

"Love to help you guys but I'm still trying to figure out what the meaning of "IS" is."

Clinton’s Dictionary

It’s a thick book, you can tell.
Quite a lot of work went in it.
But for such a weighty tome,
You can finish in a minute.

For the list of words is short,
Only seventeen in all.
But those tortured definitions,
Turned into an order tall!

Is is not a simple wordlet.
Is means is and so much more,
Like a new hall that you wander,
With every opening of a door.

Page by page the meanings ramble,
Each word is a book itself.
Now you know why Clinton’s Library,
Takes up more than just one shelf.
