ADJECTIVES TO THE RESCUE
What color is that flower? Who can tell, oh!
Is it red? Is it purple? Is it yellow?
And won't you please describe for me its smell, oh!
Is it sweet? Is it acrid? Is it mellow?
If we had only nouns and verbs, dear fellow,
you'd stammer your reply like Lou Costello,
but there's no need for you to shake like jello.
Our language offers adjectives, as well, oh!
