You cannot say this once out loud - a tongue twister from a master
Edited on Wed Nov-26-03 09:09 PM by nu_duer
Just a snip:

------
When tweetle beetles fight,
it's called
a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they
battle in a puddle,
it's a tweetle
beetle puddle battle.

AND when tweetle beetles
battle with paddles in a puddle,
they call it a tweetle
beetle puddle paddle battle.
AND...

When beetles battle beetles
in a puddle paddle battle
and the beetle battle puddle
is a puddle in a bottle...

...they call this
a tweetle beetle
bottle puddle
paddle battle muddle.
AND...

When beetles
fight these battles
in a bottle
with their paddles
and the bottle's
on a poodle
and the poodle's
eating noodles...

...they call this
a muddle puddle
tweetle poodle
beetle noodle
bottle paddle battle.
-----------

2. My dad taught me this one...
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's son.
But I'm out here plucking pheasants,
'til the pheasant plucking's done.

Memorize it, then try to recite it quickly. :evilgrin:

3. Au contraire
I did the last bit for a speakers' audition:

Now wait a minute, Mr. Socks Fox!

When a fox is in the bottle
where the tweetle beetles battle
with their paddles in a puddle
on a noodle-eating poodle

THIS is what they call...

...a tweetle beetle
noodle poodle bottled
paddled muddled duddled
fuddled wuddled
fox in socks, sir!

Fox in socks, our game is done, sir.
Thank you for a lot of fun, sir!

7. Bah!!!!!
Although I consider English my second language I'm native born and speak with a CNN accent (geographically indescernable). My native language is Spanish and the consanants challenged in that toungue-twister (trabalengua, en español) are natural to Spanish and so I can recite that one easily.

10. Here's a short one I can't do 3 times fast:
Red Leather, Yellow leather.

And this one probably belongs on the alliteration thread: Six slick slim slimy slender sycamore saplings.

And: If a witch switched a witch with a switch, which witch switched which witch with which switch?
