Needs To Read

A tugboat needs a river;
A sailboat needs a sail.
In order to deliver,
A mailman needs some mail.

A baker needs an oven;
A bicycle needs wheels
And pets require lovin’
And a place to sleep and meals.

Plants need sun and water;
Children need fresh air.
Every son and daughter
Needs a mom or dad to care.

Feet need shoes or sandals;
Stores need lots of stuff.
Birthday cakes need candles;
Just to wish is not enough.

Schools require teachers
And kids who want to learn.
Movies showing features
Need their patrons to return.

I’d go on forever
If inclined to take the time
For I’ll jump at each endeavor
Which requires a little rhyme.
