Use an adverb and tell him.) Get your adverb... Use it with an adjective, it says much more. Anything described can be described some more. Anything you'd ever need is in the store, And so you choose very carefully Every word you use. Use it with a verb it tells us how you did. Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been. Use it with another adverb at the end, and even more... How, where, or when, condition or reason... These questions are answered When you use an adverb... {Come and get it!} Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here! Quickly quickly quickly, get your adverbs here!
