Come gather round, young ones, and hear my tale
Of words that start with "R," without fail
Repeat after me, each and every one
And soon you'll know them, before you're done

Report is what you do when you tell a friend
About something that happened, start to end
And when you pay money to live in a space
That's rent, a cost you'll have to face

A restaurant is where you go to eat
Delicious food, a tasty treat
But be sure to remove your hat
Before you sit down, that's a fact

Reply when someone speaks to you
It's polite, and the right thing to do
And when something's broken and needs some love
Repair it well, that's how you show you care

Rest is what you need when you're tired
Close your eyes, and be inspired
To dream of all the things you love
And wake up refreshed, like a dove

Now you know these words, it's time to go
Repeat them often, and you'll know
That words have power, that's for sure
And with them, you can open any door.
