- 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?"
Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
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?
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.
