Can, Ban, Plan, Fan, Ran, Clan, Pan, Man,
All these words that fit in our hands,
They're simple and fun, a joy to understand.

Let's start with Can, it means to be able,
To do something good, to be dependable,
Ban means to stop, to make it unavailable,
And Plan, it's a guide, a map that's memorable.

Fan, it blows air, to cool us down,
Ran, it's how we move, when we're out of town,
Clan, a group of friends, a family so dear,
Together they all, bring joy and cheer.

Pan, is a pot, to cook our food,
Man, is a human, that's happy and good,
So these words are all, a part of our life,
And they help us see, the joy and the strife.

So, Can, Ban, Plan, Fan, Ran, Clan, Pan, Man,
All these words, are as simple as can be,
Use them wisely, and you'll see,
How much fun, they can bring to thee.
