Learning time; -ations

Today, in Dr.Marlyna's class we were confused on the topic of morphology.

She explained in detail to us what is morphology with many examples.

'Affixes' is the example of bound morphemes (morphology).

She also came out with this poem which have many suffixes and it is such an interesting poem!~

ATIONS

If we meet and say "Hi",

That's a salutation.

If you ask me how i feel,

That's consideration.

If we stop and talk a while,

That's a conversation.

if we understand each other,

That's communication.

If we argue, scream and fight,

That's an altercation.

If later we apologize,

That's reconciliation.

If we help each other home,

That's cooperation.

And all these ations added up,

Make civilization.

And if I say this a wonderful poem,

Is that exaggeration???
