Definition: A finger-operated lever used to fire a gun.
Alright class, settle down, letโs take a look today,
At a word that can be tricky in its play!
The dictionary gave you the start, itโs true,
Of a trigger on a firearm, shiny and new.
But โtriggerโ has a meaning that's wider than just guns,
Itโs about something that sets off what comes undone!
Think of it like this: a
trigger
can be a spark,
That starts a reaction in the dark.
A trigger is something that causes a strong response,
Like an emotion, a memory, or perhaps a consequence!
It might be a word, a sight, or even a smell,
Something that suddenly makes you feel unwell โ
Or joyful, excited, happy and bright,
Whatever it brings, with all of its light.
For example: โHis childhood fear was a trigger so keen,โ
Meaning the memory sparked sadness unseen.
So donโt just think of guns when you hear the word "trigger,"
It's about reactions - a powerful singer!
Do you have any questions? Letโs discuss it with glee,
Now who can give me an example for you and me?
