Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There were some words that wanted to play,
So they joined together in a silly rhyme,
And this is the story they wanted to chime.

First up was "prosperous", a word so grand,
It meant having plenty and all in hand,
Next came "flamboyant", a word so bright,
It meant standing out with all your might.

Then there was "nuisance", a word so mean,
It meant something that's not very keen,
But it was followed by "prototype", a word so neat,
It meant a first model, so very complete.

Next up was "production", a word so fine,
It meant making things, like a big factory line,
And last but not least was "pungent", a word so strong,
It meant a smell that could last all day long.

These words all together made a fun little crew,
And they loved to sing and dance and play too,
So if you ever hear them, just stop and say hi,
And they'll make you smile, that's no lie!
