Wilson Trumble's Wonderfully Silly Day

Limerick Day

Reading Comprehension for May 12

Wilson Trumble woke up with a wonderfully silly idea. After a moment of contemplation, he made his decision and rolled out of bed. He made his way to the kitchen, where he greeted Gertie with a pat on the head. He thought a brief moment before a smile spread across his face.




"There once was a shih-tzu named Gertie
Who sometimes got awfully dirty.
When she rolled in some poo,
All the folks said, 'P.U.!
That dog doesn't smell very purty!'"


"Woof! Woof!" Gertie replied, licking Wilson's hand before bounding into the kitchen. Her toenails clicked at a fast pace until she slid to a stop and sat beside her empty food dish looking expectantly at her master.


Finally, having fed the dog some canned food and himself a toaster pastry, Wilson made his way outside to greet the morning.




"There once was a sunshiny day
That caused Wilson Trumble to say,
'Though I must go to work
As a poor mailroom clerk,
I will lim'rick my troubles away!'"
