Tongue Twisters If Peter Piper picked a peck of prickly peppers, where's the peck of prickly peppers Peter Piper picked? How much wood would woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood? Sister Sally sat silently sewing seventeen slippery silk stitches in seventeen slippery silk stockings. Simple Simon systematically slopping sticky sugar syrup. Bright buddies boisterously bringing burning butter. What noisy noise annoys a noisy oyster? Bumping baby buggy bumpers bumped by big baby buggy bumpers. john Gallagher Howard Lucas. wk A41 fx.. Rx X f J. - ' QW f. X t he N Ea Nursery Rhymes Hickory dickory dock, The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, The mouse fell down-Sissy. Little boy blue, Come blow your horn, The cowls in the meadow, The sheep in the corn. Time to knock off. Little Miss Muifet, Sat on a tulfet, Eating her curds and whey, When along came a spider And sat down beside her, And said, ls this seat taken? The boy stood on the burning deck, Roasting peanuts by the peck. Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig and away he ran. Roast pork tonight! john Gallagher. Longfellow 4 51 P Ecboer
