TONGUE TRIPPER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "THEOPHILUS THISTLEDOWN, THE SUCCESSFUL THISTLE SIFTER"
Last Line: DO NOT GET THE UNSIFTED THISTLES STUCK IN THY TONGUE
Subject(s): TONGUE TWISTERS;
THEOPHILUS Thistledown, the successful thistle sifter,
In sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles
Through the thick of his thumb.
If, then, Theophilus Thistledown, the successful thistle sifter,
In sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles,
Thrust three thousand thistles
Through the thick of his thumb,
See that thou, in sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles,
Do not get the unsifted thistles stuck in thy tongue.
