Got home from camping last spring   Saw people, places and things   We barely had arrived   Friends asked us to describe   The people, places and every last thing   So we unpacked our adjectives      I unpacked "frustrating" first   Reached in and found the word "worst"   Then I picked "soggy" and   Next I picked "foggy" and   Then I was ready to tell them my tale   Because I'd unpacked my adjectives      Adjectives are words you use to really describe things   Handy words to carry around   Days are sunny or they're rainy   Boys are dumb or else they're brainy   Adjectives can show you which way      Adjectives are often used to help us compare things   To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall   Girls who are tall can get taller   Boys who are small can get smaller   Until one is the tallest   And the other's the smallest of all      We hiked along without care   Then we ran into a bear   He was a hairy bear   He was a scary bear   We beat a hasty retreat from his lair   And described him with adjectives      Next time you go on a trip   Remember this little tip:   The minute you get back   They'll ask you this and that   You can describe people, places and things   Simply unpack your adjectives   You can do it with adjectives   Tell them about it with adjectives   You can shout it with adjectives
