Come children, gather round with glee,
I'll tell you a poem, just wait and see!
It's got lots of words, some may be tough,
But don't worry, it's fun, and that's enough!

First up, we have the word "pool,"
Where we swim and splash, it's really cool!
But be careful and listen to the rules,
Or the police might come, they're no fools!

Next, we have a word that's fun to say,
It's "pour," and it means to give something away!
Like when we pour a drink or pour some cereal,
It's a simple word, but it's oh so integral!

Now let's talk about something that's popular,
It's a word we all know, it's a real showstopper!
It's "position," and it means where you stand,
You can be in a good position, or one that's not so grand.

Oh dear, here's a word that's not so nice,
It's "poison," and it comes with a warning, not once, but twice!
It's something we must never touch or eat,
Or it could be dangerous, now that's no treat!

Let's move on to a word that's not so grand,
It's "poor," and it means someone who needs a helping hand.
It's important to be kind and lend a hand,
To those who are poor and need us to understand.

Now, let's talk about something that's great to eat,
It's a word we all know, it's a real treat!
It's "potato," and it comes in many forms,
Mashed, boiled, or fried, it's one of our norms.

Last but not least, we have a word that's polite,
It's "possible," and it means we can do it right!
When we try our best, anything is possible,
And that's a fact that's just so audible!

So there you have it, my little friends,
A poem with words from beginning to end!
Remember these words, and use them well,
And you'll do just fine, I can surely tell!
