Peter Piper seems to have several versions. Peter Piper is the only one I could ever get my tongue around.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
A peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
Where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter piper picked.

I have a slightly different version of Peter Piper.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper
Where the peck of pickled pepper Peter piper picked.

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?"

If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?


....and in French, that is:

Si un chien mâche des chaussures, quelles chaussures choisit-il?

It loses something in Latin! :-D :-D :-D

Si autem ruminat calceamenta canis, qui facit eligere calceamenta?

Rollo, the version I learnt was "The Leith Police dismisseth us" but both are equally difficult to say, even without any alcohol!

Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said the butter’s bitter
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
So ‘twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter

How many tongue twisters are there my 7 year old grandson is trying to say them and very funny he is

Seashells, I'm sure.
So if she she sells seashells
On the seashore,

Seashore shells
