Words

Words are like building blocks that a structure create!

The right choice of words would a message create

Of images sharp and ideas clear, to remove blunders

That cause an embarrassment so sure!

Of verbs I know that actions describe, and nouns so

Dear that name my friends, adjectives so

Fair that define my friends and prepositions

So pat that make positions so clear!

The linkers I know that connect all I know, verbs and

Nouns and  sentences that flow, to remove the clutter and  bind

The structure that I make, for all to see! For I would not like

To ramble on, but to Convey message all so clear.

And to cement my words with dancing words,

I use participles  and gerunds

And play with past participles because

I would not like to end my action so!

 My prepositions I use so fans should hang from ceilings.

While I pour tea into my cup,  ideas I place in sentences

That glow, and so I dive into rules that confuse me so,

Thus, Will I walk a mile with you if it pleases you so

Of adjectives I know, that the red ball pleases you so,

For you are a good friend and I like you so!

And if a short lesson in rules would please you,

A lesson crisp I will share with you.

Modals I would give, as advice to help you,

For I dare not leave alone one so innocent like you,

For When in Rome you must obey the elders -

In Greece you ought to visit the Parthenon!
