 As house or garden, hoop, or swing.
 Instead of nouns the pronouns stand-
 Her head, your face, his arm, my hand.
 Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
 As great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
 Verbs tell of something to be done-
 To read, count, sing, talk, laugh, or run.
 How things are done the adverbs tell,
 As slowly, quickly, ill, or well.
