Item 1: Poem

The Great Fall!

If  all the trees were ONE tree,

What a GREAT tree it would be!

If all the axes were ONE axe,

What a GREAT axe it would be!

If all the seas were ONE sea,

What a GREAT sea it would be!

If all the men were ONE man,

What a GREAT man he would be!

If the great man, takes the great axe,

Cuts the great tree and it falls into the great sea,

What a GREAT FALL it would be!
