    A POEM
    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!‘
