- Hard Tongue Twister Poems
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's mate,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
'cause the pheasant plucker's late.
I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm
the pheasant plucker's son,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
till the pheasant pluckers come.

Or to tutor two tooters to

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.

Shilly-shallied south.

shack;
Sheep should sleep in a shed.

Theophilus Thadeus Thistledown,
The succesful
thistle-sifter,
While sifting a sieve-full of
unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles
through the thick of his thumb.
Now, if Theophilus Thadeus Thistledown,
The succesful
thistle-sifter,
Thrust three thousand thistles
through the thick of his thumb,
See that thou, while sifting a
sieve-full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust not three thousand
thistles through the thick of thy thumb.
