Brainstorming words: ate/eight, bait, Kate, date, fate, gate, hate, late, mate, Nate, rate, skate, plate, Tate, wait/weight, classmate, great, primate, create, chocolate(?), collaborate, conjugate, precipitate, cogitate, congratulate, debate, deflate
Wow! There are a ton of multi-syllable words that rhyme with ate at http://www.morewords.com/ends-with/ate/. Here are a few interesting ones: abbreviate, agitate, ambulate, animate, articulate, carbohydrate, elaborate, eliminate, emigrate, evaluate, evaporate, condensate, exasperate, coordinate, demonstrate, contaminate, educate, fabricate, irritate, motivate, masticate, participate
Will you participate
In the great class debate?
The birthday balloon will deflate
If the air - you eliminate.
That artist is great
She can really animate.
First the water must condensate
Then it can precipitate.
Agitate and irritate
or collaborate and educate?
Do you like to participate
When the class collaborates?
Lessons are difficult to abbreviate
When there is a lot to cogitate.
What can we eliminate
So we don't exasperate?
This one was fun. Perhaps too many educational words to play with?
I added a poem to the comments on Mary's blog Poems of Silliness.
