Now for a collection of tongue twisters and that I can remember, along with a few word puzzles.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper picked.

She sells seashells by the seashore.

Here is a tongue twister in Irish Gaelic

Bhí bean ag Joe
Is bhí banjo ag Joe
Is bhí banjo ag bhean Joe
B'fhearr go deo Joe ar an mbanjo
Ná bean Joe ar an mbanjo go deo.

translation:
Joe had a wife
And Joe had a banjo
And Joe's wife had a banjo
Joe was always better on the banjo
Than Joe's wife ever was

How may boards
could the Mongols hoard
if the Mongel hordes got bored?

How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?

The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout thursday.

There was a fisherman named Fisher
who fished for some fish in a fissure.
Till a fish with a grin,
pulled the fisherman in.
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.

One-one was a race horse
Two-two was one too
One-one won one race
Two-two won one two.

and now for some word puzzles

This was above a fireplace

  3. Hi cousin! Wow, I never knew you had a blog. This is really cool! I love how you call yourself 'Prince Rillian.' Always the Narnia lover I see :) The photos of you in that elfish armor are really awesome. And you have some very interesting topics like Shakespeare, Les Miserables, Narnia, etc. I looked back over the history of your blog and saw the Christmas songs. I liked the part where you had the titles for the Christmas songs in other words, like "Felicitations to Sol's Third Orbit" aka Joy to the World or something like that. It was also really cool to hear about your time at Camp Rivendell! Hahaha @ all the stuff about fighting the orcs with foam swords. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Too bad it's only for boys.
    A really great blog! It was cool to read it!

    Your Older Cousin :)
