What's a noun without a verb to make it zoom!
Verb you're so intense
Every sentence has a subject
Noun, person, place or thing
Find that subject, where's the action?
Verb can make the subject zing
Take the subject, what is it?
What's done to it?
What does it say?
Verb! You're what's happening!
I can question like,
What is it?
Verb! You're so demanding!
I can order like,
Go get it.
Verb! You're so commanding!
When I hit I need an object!
When I see I see the object!I get my thing in action!
Verb! That's what's happening!
To work, to play, to live, to love.

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,
But 'till you came along,
We counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you're here to stay
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.
What's so wonderful about a zero?
It's…
