A tongue twisting tale of Wide Waldo Wiggins.

Wide Waldo Wiggins
Was as wide as a house
Or wider perhaps
Than the widest wamp mouse
That measured, if measured
As wide as a wall
As fat as a Moo Deer
(But not nearly as tall)
Wide Waldo would waddle
As wide people do
In search of a meal
That was wider than two
Two what? You might ask
And to where? You might say
Was Waldo as wide
As two hippos at play?
And where would he eat
On this Wide Waldo day?
The shops would all close
When he waddled their way
But would open again
When Waldo waddled away
Now this was a problem
For Wide Waldo to fix
Till the day Waldo spied
A new place made of bricks
With extra-large windows
And an extra stiff floor
And a sign that was hung
On an extra wide door
“This,” Waldo cried
“Is too good to ignore!”
So as Wide Waldo does
When Wide Waldo eats
He waddled inside
And was wowed by the seats!
They’re enough for three people
Side by side, on their ends
And they’re made out of metal
So they won’t break or bend!
Then the waiter came out
And saw Wide Waldo there
But instead of him fainting
Said, “Please take a chair.”
“The house special today
Is fat, candied yak
With Figglehump pie
And cream cakes for a snack
And here is our menu
That’s delicious and fun
It’s made of white chocolate
You can eat, when you’re done!
“Please leave the menu,
But I’d love a wide rack
Of your special today,
The fat, candied yak!”
So Wide Waldo ate
Till his stomach was stretched
Then he asked for the bill
That the waiter would fetch
Waldo paid, and he tipped
And as he waddled away
He said to the waiter
“Be back later today!”
