Definition: Originally, a stick; now specifically, a long and slender piece of metal or (especially) wood, used for various construction or support purposes.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word "pole," it's quite a treat.
The dictionary tells us, oh so neat,
“Originally, a stick – simple and true,
Then grew to something stronger, for me and for you!”
Now, let's break it down with a little rhyme,
To really help this meaning climb:
A "pole" is first a stick, you see,
Like one used for climbing a tree!
But now it’s changed, evolved with grace,
A slender piece in a building’s space.
Think of lampposts tall and bright,
Or posts supporting structures just right.
It's metal or wood, depending on the plan,
Used for support – that’s part of its clan!
So remember this lesson, clear and bold,
A “pole” is a stick, a story to be told!
