What's a noun without a verb to make it zoom!
Verb you're so intense
Every sentence has a subject
Noun, person, place or thing
Find that subject, where's the action?
Verb can make the subject zing
Take the subject, what is it?
What's done to it?
What does it say?
Verb! You're what's happening!
I can question like,
What is it?
Verb! You're so demanding!
I can order like,
Go get it.
Verb! You're so commanding!
When I hit I need an object!
When I see I see the object!I get my thing in action!
Verb! That's what's happening!
To work, to play, to live, to love.
