One day the Nouns were clustered on the street.
An Adjective walked by, with her dark beauty.
The Nouns were struck, moved, changed.
The next day a Verb drove up, and created the Sentence.
-- Kenneth Koch, "Permanently"

My sister might like this thread. Hahaha, I failed in 9th grade to grasp what these mean. Somehow I did manage to "structure" a sentence but I don't know how I did it. I'm more of a "punny" person.

When I was in school we learned little poems to remember things. To find and adverb this test try ask how or when or where or why. Conjunctions as their name implies are joining words they are the ties that bind together day and night calm but cool dull or bright. Prepositions show relations like with respect or in our nation.
I just dug that stuff up out of my brain from my childhood didn't even know it was there.

Well, you did manage rather brilliantly. When I punish my captive audience with the so-called lowest form of humor, I don't insult them or myself by saying "no pun in ten did" when wishing they'd get at least one of my whoppers and groan appreciatively.
