Twisted – Tongue Twisters

When you're tongue-tied…you know what I mean? You have a big thing, chunky

thing, you have to say…this works for me. Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather

yellow leather. Well, that's one of the many things you can say. I have a bunch of

them. A big black bug bit a big brown bear. Geese cackle, cattle low, crows caw, cocks

crow. The eight great geese in a green field grazing. Like, I can go on. Six thick thistle

sticks. Lucy likes light literature. Amos Ames, the amiable aeronaut, aided in an aerial

enterprise at the age of 88. Some shun sunshine. Do you shun sunshine? Fine white

wine. Vinegar with veal.

Whoops, you missed the 'what' and the 'one'.
