Tongue Twister
Theopolis Thistledown, the successful Thistle Sifter,
In sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles
Through the thick of his thumb
If, then, Theopolis Thistledown,
The successful thistle sifter,
In sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles,
Thrust these thousand thistles
Through the thick of his thumb,
See that though, in sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles,
Does not get the thistles stuck in thy tongue.
