Adjectives
Got home from camping last spring,
saw people, places, and things.
We barely had arrived,
friends asked us to describe
the people, places, and every last thing.
So we unpacked our adjectives.
I unpacked frustrating first,
reached in and found the word worst.
Then I picked soggy, next I picked foggy, and
then I was ready to tell them my tale.
'Cause I'd unpacked my adjectives.
Adjectives are words you use to really describe things,
handy words to carry around.
Days are sunny, or they're rainy.
Boys are dumb, or else they're brainy.
Adjectives can show you which way.
Adjectives are often used to help us compare things,
say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall.
Girls who are tall get taller,
boys who are small get smaller,
'til one is the tallest and one is the smallest of all.
We hiked around without care,
then we ran into a bear.
He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear,
we made a hasty retreat from his lair.
And described him with adjectives.
Woah boy, that was one big ugly bear.
Next time you go on a trip,
remember this little tip,
The minute you get back, they'll ask you this and that,
you can describe people, places and things,
simply unpack your adjectives.
You can do it with adjectives.
Tell about it with adjectives.
You can shout it with adjectives.
Oh oh oh adjectives.
Oh oh oh adjectives.
Darn, that's the end.
