Tongue Twisters.

 

For the Cautious.

A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

Fat frogs flying past fast.

Six thick thistle sticks. Six thick thistles stick.

A big black bug bit a big black bear,
made the big black bear bleed blood.

Toy boat. Toy boat. Toy boat.

We surely shall see the sun shine soon.

Rubber baby-buggy bumpers.

Six slippery snails, slid slowly seaward.

In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire,

hurricanes hardly ever happen.

Whether the weather be fine, or whether the weather be not.

Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot.

We'll weather the weather, no matter the weather, whether we like it or not. 

Black bug's blood.

She sifted thistles through her thistle-sifter.

I saw Esau kissing Kate. I saw Esau,
he saw me, and she saw I saw Esau.

Success to the successful thistle-sifter!

How many boards could the Mongols hoard
If the Mongol hoards got bored?

I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.

He threw three free throws.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?

Mares eat oats and does eat oats, but little lambs eat ivy.  A kid'll eat ivy too.  Wouldn't you?

There was a young fisher named Fischer
Who fished for a fish in a fissure.
The fish with a grin,
Pulled the fisherman in;
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fischer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Adventurous.

I am not the pheasant plucker,
Nor the pheasant plucker's son.
But I’ll pluck pheasants
Till the pheasant plucker comes.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts,
with stoutest wrists and loudest boasts,
he thrusts his fist against the posts
and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I need not your needles, they're needless to me;
For kneading of noodles, 'twere needless, you see;
But did my neat knickers but need to be kneed,
I then should have need of your needles indeed.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.  If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers?  Where's the peck if pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, "Let us fly!"
Said the fly, "Let us flee!"
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

A Tudor who tooted a flute tried to tutor two

 tooters  to toot.   Said the two to their tutor,

"Is it  harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

If you stick a stock of liquor in your locker,
it is slick to stick a lock upon your stock,
or some joker who is slicker
is going to trick you of your liquor
if you fail to lock your liquor with a lock.

Raleigh, are you already ready?  Are you really ready, Raleigh? Raleigh's really ready, Riley.  Riley, Raleigh's already ready!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Courageous.

To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock
In a pestilential prison with a life long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block.

 

A bitter biting bittern bit a better brother bittern,

And the bitter better bittern bit the bitter biter back.
And the bitter bittern, bitten, by the better bitten

 bittern, Said: "I'm a bitter biter bit, alack!"

 

Mr. See owned a saw.  And Mr. Soar owned

 a seesaw.  Now See's saw sawed Soar's

seesaw before Soar saw See, which made Soar

sore.  Had Soar seen See's saw before See

sawed Soar's seesaw, See's saw would not

have sawed Soar's seesaw.  So See's saw

sawed Soar's seesaw.  But it was sad to see

Soar so sore just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!

 

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

 

Theophiles Thistle, the successful thistle-sifter,
in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Now.....if Theophiles Thistle, the successful thistle-sifter, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, see that thou, in sifting a

sieve full of un-sifted thistles, thrust not

three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.

 

 

 

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?  He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

 

If a Hottentot taught a Hottentot tot
To talk ere the tot could totter,
Ought the Hottentot tot
Be taught to say aught, or naught,
Or what ought to be taught her?
If to hoot and to toot a Hottentot tot
Be taught by her Hottentot tutor,
Ought the tutor get hot If the Hottentot tot
Hoot and toot at her Hottentot tutor?

 

A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground That the three-toed tree toad trod.  But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.  He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower with her three-toed power the she-toad vetoed him.

 

Esau Wood sawed wood.  All the wood

 Esau Wood saw, Esau Wood would saw.  All the wood Wood saw, Esau sought to saw.  One day Esau Wood's wood-saw  would  saw no wood.  So Esau Wood sought a new  wood-saw.  The new wood-saw would saw  wood.  Oh, the wood Esau Wood would saw.  Esau sought a saw that would saw  wood as no other wood-saw would saw.  And Esau found a  saw that would saw as no other wood-saw would saw.  And Esau Wood sawed wood. 

 

Through three cheese trees three free fleas

 flew.   While these fleas flew, freezy breeze

 blew.  Freezy breeze made these three trees

 freeze.  Freezy trees made these trees'

 cheese  freeze.  That's what made these

three free fleas sneeze.

 

 

clown face.
