Definition: A table, frame, or case, in past centuries usually with a sloping top but now usually with a flat top, for the use of writers and readers. It often has a drawer or repository underneath.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word we all know, in a simple way.
We're talking about “desk,” you see, it’s true,
Let's break it down for me and for you!
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
“A table, frame, or case – that’s what it can do!”
It tells of times gone by, long, long ago,
When desks had slopes, a slanted flow.
But now we see them flat, nice and neat,
For writing letters, papers sweet!
They're for readers too, a comfy place to be,
A spot for learning, you’ll agree!
And listen close, there’s more than just the top,
Often hidden underneath, don't stop!
There's a drawer or box, a secret space,
To hold your pencils and keep them in their place.
So “desk” means a surface, sturdy and bright,
Where we work and study with all our might!
