Definition: To quickly lower the head or body in order to prevent it from being struck by something.
Alright class, settle down, letโs take a look,
At this word โduck,โ a simple book!
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
โTo quickly lower, with all your might!โ
It's not about birds, though they do "duck" too,
But protecting yourself, itโs perfectly true.
Imagine a ball, about to fly,
You โduckโ to avoid it, way up high!
Think of a raindrop, falling fast and free,
Or a sudden noise, for you to see โ
A quick little movement, low and neat,
That's what "to duck" truly means, sweet!
So remember this rhyme, let it stick in your head,
โDuckโ is about safety, wisely led.
Do you have any questions, my dear students?
