Know — a word that means you've got it in your head,
Remember things you learned, don't forget what's said!
Mean — it's what a word is trying hard to say,
Forget — it flies away throughout the day!
Suppose and understand and believe,
Realise and imagine — just receive!
Think — a word that feels and doesn't show,
And that brings us back to Know, Know, Know!
Love — a feeling deep inside your heart
Like — a sunny feeling from the start!
Hate — the opposite of love, you see,
Fear — a feeling scary as can be!
Want and need and wish and hope and mind,
Adore and prefer — feelings of all kind!
Dislike — a word that shows you're not so keen,
And that brings us back to Love, Love, Love!
See — your eyes just open wide and look,
Hear — your ears just listen like a book!
Smell — the nose decides without a try,
Sound — it reaches ears just passing by!
Have and own and be-long and cost,
Contain and seem — they're never ever lost!
Taste and look — they simply just appear,
And that brings us back to See, See, See!
These are state verbs — don't say "-ing"!
They just are — no action thing!
Not "I'm know-ing", not "I'm loving" — no!
Do-Re-Mi, state verbs — go, go, go!
