I contain kernals, some of which you may eat - my contents can be compromised of barley, corn and even of whole wheat. I spread, I grow, and I help with fibrous deficiencies, and I provide a wealth of sustenance for animals that you eat.

I fill the morning with delight, And disappear into the night, It's like the whistle that birds do, Crickets claim my sound too, A tiny song for everyone, It's quick and sharp and then I'm gone.

I’m all around you, but not all you breathe. Without enough of me, life grows very brief.

A pirate taught me how to swear, Now every sailor gives me a glare, I can be your wingman, I'll lean on your shoulders like none can, Secrets are something I can't keep, And everything you tell me I repeat.

Oh heavens, as slow as molasses in January, this creature lounges like a granny on a Sunday afternoon. Moving along with the leisure of a noon shadow, it teaches patience like a warm hug from yesteryears.
