What Else Can I Do?

All I know are the blossoms you grow (Whoa)

But it's awesome to see how you rise

How far can I rise? Through the roof, to the skies, let's go!

A hurricane of jacarandas (Whoo!)

Strangling figs (Go!)

Hanging vines (Grow!)

Palma de cera fills the air as I climb

And I push through

How does it work?

When you want to describe 2 or more things, you add an -s  to the end of the word

Flower     ->     Flowers

Rose        ->      Roses

Sky           ->      Skies

Cherry    ->      Cherries

Box     ->     Boxes

Glass   ->     Glasses

What if a word already ends with an s-sound?

     Then you add -es!

Fox        ->     Foxes

Dress   ->     Dresses

Wish     ->     Wishes

And how about a  -y?

Is the letter in front of it a,e,i,o or u?

   Just add an -s!

Day     ->     Days

Key     ->     Keys

Is there a different letter in front of it?

   Then -y turns into -ies!

Sky     ->     Skies
