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
