Unpack Your Adjectives

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

'Cause 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 get taller

Boys who are small get smaller

'Til one is the tallest and one is the smallest of all

We hiked around 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

"Oh boy, that was one big ugly bear"

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 about it with adjectives

You can shout it with adjectives

Oh! Oh! Oh! Adjectives (2x)

"Darn, that's the end"
