Dealer

I'll hook you up

 Hey, come on…

I’ve got the stuff

Once you’re hooked,

There’s never enough.

 

Would you be craving

A nice mellow noun?

My inventory’s

The best in town.

 

Perhaps an exhilarating

Action verb

Check out this stock 

They’re really superb.

 

Jonesin’ for a thrilling

Modifier?

You won’t find

A better supplier

 

If you’re aiming to score

A clause or a phrase

These little gems

Are sure to amaze

 

I’ve even got pronouns

And interjections;

If you need the words,

I’m your vocab connection

Author's Note

The phrase "word pusher" popped into my head.

If "Schoolhouse Rock" were still around this would be blaring on Saturday morning TV.

I am not sure what age your students are but I can easily imagine younger grade kids getting hooked on words buy injecting this.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I teach 7th grade - and they were pretty amused when I read this to them. I show them Schoolhouse Rock, too. :) Thanks, Steve!

first time i ever thought of a dictionary or thesaurus pushing its wares on the street corner. what an interesting and entertaining take on the availability of knowledge! well done!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) This was a thought that came to me as I was teaching a new vocabulary list to my students... at this point in the year, every time they hear a previously taught word, someone will call out "Vocab word!" I told them they are becoming word addicts, and then the term "word pusher" came to mind...

[quinfinn]

as long as they are hungry for knowledge you are doing your job well!
