User blog:Discofurby/Rhyming Recaps: Read Aloud

There was a contest at the library.

In order to win, there was nothing scary:

Just read lots of books together at a fast pace,

And if you win, you could go to a pizza place.

The family was happy and shouted, "Woo-hoo!",

Though Lisa was concerned 'cause her fines were overdue,

So she came disguised as a little cowboy.

Lola, however, did not express joy.

She said, "Reading's boring. I got stickers instead."

"But you need to do your part too," Lincoln said.

Lucy said, "Let's pretend both twins are one!",

But Lincoln said, "How 'bout we show her the fun?"

Lynn Sr. said, "Do you want to read this cookbook?"

"No thanks," said Lola. Luan said, "Please look,

At this comedy book. You'll slap your thighs raw."

"I'm trying to not be aggressive anymore,"

Said Lola. Then Lana said, "Learn to fix a car!".

Lola said, "I'm not into that, you are!".

Lucy said, "How about my novel instead?".

"No thanks, he's too scary," Lola Loud said.

Lincoln said, "How about Ace Savvy then?"

"I'm not interested!", Lola shouted again.

Lincoln said, "Let's give her what she's into,"

And said, "Here's a book about twins just like you,"

But Lola just said, "Their hairdos are bad."

"How about this tea party book? It's quite rad!"

"I already know all of that stuff!"

Getting Lola to read was proving quite tough.

"A book about fairies?" "I like unicorns better!"

"Here's a unicorn book, you could read every letter!"

"No, I've seen the movie," said the girl to the boy,

"And that was 90 minutes I didn't enjoy."

The librarian gave the Loud family a quiz.

They got the right answers, then she said, "What is,

Interesting about the crown on Martha's head?"

"Is this an interrogation!?", Lola Loud said,

"I didn't read it and I never will!",

But Lincoln said, "There's still two hours to kill."

Lola said, "I don't like pizza." Linc said, "You do,

So until you read, I will be watching you."

She ran away and so Lincoln pursued.

She said, "I find it hard," in a way that was subdued.

Linc said, "It gets easier- I'll show you how!"

Lola said, "Thank you. It's easy now."

He succeeded in showing her but they were late.

Linc said, "It was my fault," but Lola said, "Wait!

I find reading hard, so don't blame him, OK?!"

Then Lola made pizza for dinner that day.

Yes, the end to this story was very sweet,

Except for Lisa being chased down the street.
