Definition: A cover, or partial cover, for the face, used for disguise or protection.
Alright class, settle down and letโs take a look,
At this word โmask,โ itโs quite a book!
The dictionary gives us clues so bright,
To help us understand its meaning just right.
It says โa cover,โ something to conceal,
A bit of hiding, truly real!
โPartial coverโ โ not completely gone,
Just shielding parts from dusk till dawn.
And then it adds, with a helpful plea,
"For disguise or protection," you see!
A mask can hide your face so neat,
Or keep you safe when dangers meet.
Think of pirates bold and stories told,
Of costumes grand, both new and old.
A mask can be for fun, a playful art,
Or guarding health with a helpful start!
So tell me now, in your own sweet way,
What does โmaskโ mean to you today?
Do you think of Halloween's spooky cheer?
Or maybe doctors keeping germs quite near?
