The Magical World of Words

Once upon a time, in a world quite unique
Where words like "brute force" were not to speak
There were some words that kids should know
So let's dive in, and watch them grow!

Complete means finished, with nothing left
Like a puzzle solved, or a goal bereft
Boolean is a type of logic, quite true
Yes or no, on or off, it's up to you

The best is something that's top of the line
Like a shiny gold star that really shines
Blocking is when something's in your way
But you'll find a path to get through, come what may

Concave is a shape that curves inward
Like a spoon or a cave, a shape not absurd
Commutative is math, and it means this:
When the order of things doesn't change the outcome, it's bliss

Binary is when things come in twos
Like ones and zeroes, it's what computers use
Bipartite is a way to group things with ease
Like two different colors, or two different keys

Bounded means something has a limit in place
It can't go too high, or fall on its face
Balanced is when things are just right
Not too much here, not too little in sight

So there you have it, a world of words
Some new and some old, like curious birds
Use them well, and let them take flight
And learn new things, with all your might!
