The Prefix ex- means Out
Explode with joy,
You silly boy,
But I get to explode your hair,
And turn you into a bear.
The Prefix sub- means Under
Submarines and subways
both act like worms,
But go their separate ways,
Underwater and underground,
crawling fast and slow.
The Prefix de- means Down
I descended in a creaky old device,
Long out of date,
With a bottom made out of a grate,
And sides made out of slate,
Looking, looking, boldly looking,
For deposits of gold.
The Prefix re- means Again
I remembered to rehearse
My lines for the play
Which was going to happen
Any day.
