The Poem!

There are these things that we call forces

and they surround us all the time.

All you need to know of course is

contained within this little rhyme!

 

A force can be a push or pull.

It always must be one of those two.

Like I could push a big brown bull,

or pull its horns hard if I chose to!

 

A force can speed things up, you know,

(or slow them, I must mention).

It can change their shape and, oh,

even their direction!

 

We measure height with things called feet

and volumes with pints and litres

When it comes to forces the Newton's neat

and measured with Newton meters!
