    Hi, All!

    This little poem has been floating around FaceBook for a while. I can't find out who wrote it!


    Every name is called a NOUN,
    As field and fountain, street and town;
    In place of noun the PRONOUN stands
    As he and she can clap their hands,
    The ADJECTIVE describes a thing,
    As magic wand and bridal ring,
    The VERB means action, something done -
    To read, to write, to jump, to run;
    How things are done, the ADVERBS tell,
    As quickly, slowly, badly, well;
    The PREPOSITION shows relation,
    As in the street, or at the station;
    CONJUNCTIONS join, in many ways,
    Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase;
    The INTERJECTION cries out, 'Hark!
    I need an exclamation mark!'


    Cheers... Dallas
