Which felt as fine as that felt felt,
When first I felt that felt hat's felt.

Once upon a barren moor
There dwelt a bear, also a boar.
The bear could not bear the boar.
The boar thought the bear a bore.
At last the bear could bear no more
Of that boar that bored him on the moor,
And so one morn he bored the boar -
That boar will bore the bear no more.

One-One was a racehorse;
Two-Two was one, too.
When One-One won one race,
Two-Two won one, too. On mules we find two legs behind
And two we find before.
We stand behind before we find
What those behind be for.

Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Preshrunk silk shirts.

Pretty Kitty Creighton had a cotton batten cat.
The cotton batten cat was bitten by a rat.
The kitten that was bitten had a button for an eye,
And biting off the button made the cotton batten fly.

A proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot.

Say this shortly, say this softly;
Say this sixteen times in succession.

Selfish shellfish.

She sells seashells on the seashore.
The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure.

She was a thistle sifter and sifted thistles through a thistle sieve.

Shredded Swiss cheese.

Shy Shelly says she shall sew sheets.

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.

Socks and shoes shines Susan.
She ceases shining shoes and socks,
For shoes and socks shock Susan.

A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.

A truly rural frugal ruler's mural.

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor:
"Is it harder to toot or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"

Twelve twins twirled twelve twigs.

Two toads, totally tired.

The two-twenty-two train tore through the tunnel.


We surely shall see the sun shine soon.

What noise annoys a noisy oyster? A noisy noise annoys a noisy oyster.

What time does the wristwatch strap shop shut?

When a twister a-twisting will twist him a twist,
For the twisting a twist, he three twines will entwist;
But if one of the twines of the twist do untwist,
The twine that untwisteth untwisteth the twist.

You've no need to light a night-light
On a light night like tonight,
For a night-light's light's a slight light,
And tonight's a night that's light.
When a night's light, like tonight's light,
It is really not quite right
To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonight.
