👉 To stroke with the tongue.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me,
We’re tackling words today, for all to see!
You’ve asked about “licking,” a simple little plea,
And the dictionary tells us, "stroke with the tongue," you agree?
Let's break it down a bit, in a rhyming way,
It means to move your tongue along, come what may.
Think of a popsicle stick, sticky and sweet,
Or licking an ice cream cone, a delicious treat!
It can also describe a gentle, careful trace,
Like licking honey off a spoon with grace.
Sometimes it’s used for animals, you see,
A dog might lick your hand happily!
So “licking” means to touch with the tongue's soft plea,
Do you have any questions for me?
