Wishing (Tongue twister edition)
Black bug bleeds black blood. Blue bug feeds blue blueberries. Brown bug brings brown bread.

Busy Bugs
This rhyming tongue twister filled with S's and P's  Is said by Sally's sickly sister as she sits by the sea Selling seashells as she tells Peter the Piper To pick pecks of peppers presently ripe or Else forage the forest for frog legs and bees. But beware of the badger's butler named Steve Who forgot of the fox in the box wearing socks, Bought by the duck in a truck for a buck by the docks Where witches make wishes, of which there are three One wonders, two wander, but which one are thee? Seashell selling Sally and pepper picking Peter  Then postulated how preposterous were the nauseous people eaters Whose purple pales are full of quintessential quantities  Quietly questioning carefully the existential quandaries Of buck-riding ducks driving trucks by the docks  With a box of a fox wearing socks made with locks Who is literally elated over Luscious Lake Where lucky duck Luke likes to lick lemon cake, While eleven benevolent elephants and three blind mice Might magically master their moves skating on the ice. Thus this terrific travesty of a terribly twisted tongue twister Seashell selling Sally sought to share with her sickly-sister  While the pepper picking piper, Peter, perpetuated his preposterous plan To provide the purple people eaters with a conundrum of a can. Can they can as many cans as a can canner could? Or what of the wood chucking woodchuck should it chuck any wood? And the purple people eaters ate no purple people that day Because Sally's sickly sister this tongue twister couldn't say. And the benevolent elephants and blind mice three And the licking duck Luke were all laid to rest by the sea.

How Many Crows?
Putin supposes that Trump likes Brown-Nosers, thus Putin supposes quite accurately; for Sycophant Posers are Brownest of Nosers, as Putin supposes Trump's Nosers to be.

Tongue-Twister Redux 2018
We are Laura, Will and Larry. We are willfully illiterate. We are leery of reading. We literally won't willingly learn to read literature. Well, if law required we read, would we refuse? Alright, whatever. We won't really worry, will we?

Elocution 1: Willfully Illiterate
We know that Round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran but what secrets does that sentence slyly hide from our eyes? Who is the ragged rascal that ran round the rugged rock? Ralph or Mary, Alfred or Freda? Was the rock amid the sandy ozone odoured, shelly blue roaring sea shore or the languishing lavender scented purple pastures of Provence? Does the rock think why is this ragged rascal interrupting my rest, pausing my Requiem in Pace with their irreverent running, circumnavigating the penumbra of my circumference? Is it sand or grass that feels the feet of the ragged rascal running fast or the rugged rock, whose repose the rascal wrecked? Why is the ragged rascal running perspiring to meet a perfumed maid or prurient boy or play some fiendish prank of trick or treat on foe or friend? Will we ever realize our desire to perceive why the ragged rascal ran round the rugged rock? And if the intensions of the ragged rascal become intelligible: did Peter Piper taste the peck of pickled pepper that he picked needs investigation.
