Once upon a time in a land far away,
There were words that came out to play.
They danced and twirled, jumped and spun,
Creating tales full of wonder and fun.

There was "yuck", a word that meant gross,
It made everyone wrinkle their nose.
But then there was "nearly", almost complete,
It's a word that meant something was hard to beat.

And don't forget "syrup", sticky and sweet,
A topping that made pancakes a real treat.
And "gigantic", oh so large,
It could make anyone feel quite in charge.

Then there was "bundle", a bunch of things in one,
And "embrace", a hug that was second to none.
But then there was "diaper", an item that's not so great,
But we all know it's essential, so we can't hate.

And "awful", a word that meant something was bad,
But then there was "incredible", the opposite of sad.
These words together made a story so true,
It's amazing what words can do for you.

So embrace these words with all your might,
And use them to tell stories that take flight.
For words have the power to make anything possible,
So use them wisely and make your tales incredible.
