Kokok by Karl Gaverza

There was an old woman who kept a peculiar pet

It taught more about medicine than anyone you’ve met
It was small and cheerful, so full of mirth
You wouldn’t think it lived inside the earth

One day the old woman went out of her house

She was chasing away a naughty little mouse
A boy was lost in the forest and said
“I’m hungry. Maybe here I can find some bread.”

He went in the house and looked all around

But to his disappointment, nothing could be found
He turned around and fell flat on his face
The boy tripped on the Kokok’s sleeping place!
Its head was pointed and it slept in the ground
So it wouldn’t make any kind of sound
The boy asked the Kokok if he could have a meal
And it said only if the boy agreed to a deal

The boy had to turn around and close his eyes

Then the Kokok would give him his prize
The boy did as he was told
And the Kokok opened its mouth, it was a sight to behold
It ate the small child with one loud crunch
It had almost forgotten it had skipped lunch
The woman came back and asked what had happened

The Kokok said “nothing” and she was gladdened

So to all the children lost and alone
Have some advice that should be known:
Look at the Kokok and don’t believe its lies
And when it laughs its lips cover its eyes
Run from the Kokok and don’t look back
Or you might be the Kokok’s next snack

V. ASSIGNMENT
Now, for your assignment I want you to look for a poem of
your choice. Identify and underline the adjectives in the
poem and determine if the underlined adjective is an
attributive, predicative, or postpositive adjectives.

Do you understand?
Yes, Sir.
VI. CLASS DISMISSAL
That’s all for today. Please all stand for the
closing prayer.
“Almighty Father, you have brought us to the
light of another class, may we eagerly continue to
develop in us, your gifts and always good news of
them, through Christ our Lord. AMEN”

Goodbye, Sir.
Goodbye, class.
