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.

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.

Hey,try this one out for size !

What a to do to die today at a minuite or two to two,
A thing distinctly hard to say but harder still to do,
For they will beat a tattoo,
At twenty to two,
And the dragon will come at the beat of a drum,
At a minuite or two to two !

Excellent tonguetwisters! My favourite tonguetwister of ALL TIME is this one:
I thought a thought, but the thought I thought I thought was not the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought was the thought I thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.
*Laugh until my sides ache and my smiling muscles are sore* That's great.
Cheers!
