Definition: The act of surveying; a general view.
Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look!
That word “survey,” you see, is quite a treat,
It means to gather information, oh so complete!
The dictionary's right, you know it's true,
“The act of surveying” – for me and you.
Think of a landscape, wide and grand,
A surveyor maps the land with careful hand.
They measure distances, precise and neat,
To draw a map, undeniably sweet!
But “a general view,” that’s part as well,
It means to look at things, and truly tell –
To get an overview, broad and bright,
Of something big, with all your sight.
Like when you take a survey of your class today,
You're gathering thoughts in a thoughtful way!
So “survey” can mean to measure, or to see,
A comprehensive look for you and me!
Do you have any questions about this rhyme?
