Definition: A small wheel or roller, specifically the wheel of a gun carriage.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today, At a word that might seem strange in a curious way! The dictionary gives us a clue, it's true, "A small wheel or roller…gun carriage too!” But “trucks” has a meaning much broader you see, It’s not just for cannons, wild and free! Let’s think about vehicles, big and grand, That haul things around throughout the land. Think of delivery trucks, red and bright, Bringing packages with all their might! Or construction trucks, a rumbling sound, Building new houses all around town found! A school bus too, that takes you to your seat, And even semi-trucks – oh so complete! So “trucks” means vehicles designed to move, Goods and people, that’s the groove! The dictionary's part of the story, it's true, But understanding its meaning is for me and you. Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
