- 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.

A tutor who tooted the flute 
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot 
Said the two to the tutor 
"Is it tougher to toot 
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

The seven silly sheep Silly Sally shooed
Shilly-shallied south.
These sheep shouldn't sleep in a shack;
Sheep should sleep in a shed.

Three sweet switched Swiss witches 
Watch three washed Swiss witch Swatch watch switches. 
Which sweet switched Swiss witch watches 
Which washed Swiss witch Swatch watch switch?

The succesful thistle-sifter,

Thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb.
