Conjunctions connect...
A word, a phrase and a clause for everybody.
Conjunctions! Connect! (x2)
Send a text to your friends, pass it around,
A FANBOYS party is about to go down.
They throw a soiree to make phrases meet,
And words and clauses, this is the elite.
When the FANBOYS host a party,
You'll see these conjunctions the most, so come party with me.
“F” is FOR - FOR is formal,
A fancier way of saying because, sort of.
"Could you please pass the peas,
For my arms are a little too short to reach?"
Well, if FOR is fancy, AND is greedy,
Always adding things, AND is needy.
"Eating feasts of meats and various treats."
AND always wants more - "and I want it free!"
Meet NOR, he works as a waiter,
NOR isn't nice, no, he’s a hater.
"I won't serve you now, nor will I serve you later,"
Yeah - neither and neither are his neighbors.
B is BUT, not really full of hate,
But when BUT shows up, she's going to debate.
We talk but she butts in and disagrees,
She's cool, but she can be tough, you see?
O is OR, who can't decide,
No - OR can't ever make up her mind,
Like, does she want the fish or the steak,
OR is always afraid of making some mistake.
She could go out or she could stay in,
She’s eating vegan or loving bacon.
Y is YET, and he's a Yeti,
He's a lot like BUT, yet he
Is more fancy, see the bow tie?
Yeti YET contradicts, oh my.
He's dressed nice, yet he's a monster,
"This party's refined," - yet it's so bonkers,
SO's from the valley, loves to shop,
She hits the mall so she can get some socks,
So she could look cute in her so-called boots,
SO knows the reason, yep that's the truth.
That's the cast, and there are plenty more,
Connecting words, phrases and clauses for sure!
People say that I'm the life of the party.
