ONOMATOPOEIA
Onomatopoeia-ticly speaking
Help words to be more vivid
‘Cause the speaker is generally seeking
To come across more livid
We all know how a bee can buzz
And how a steak can sizzle
We also know what a choo-choo does
And how a flame can fizzle
Onomatopoeia achieves its vivid aims
It’s descriptive as can be-a
Onomatopoeia vividly proclaims
It’s use for you and me-a
