Just in case any of you read this poem/tongue-twister the other day and wondered if I could say it, well I did, and got a fair recording of it. I hope you enjoy it!

Pickled Pepper: A Moral Tale
Pickled Pepper: A Moral Tale!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper;
but what if, just to test her,
he offered pepper (what a jester)
to his pretty sister, Hester
saying here’s face powder (to suit her).
If Peter Piper offered pickled pepper to his sister, Hester?
Hester, with a fluster, sneezing (bless her)
would chase, and batter Peter, and
chuck his pepper in his peepers!
Leaving sneezing, watering-eyed Peter
pepperless, battered, bruised and wheezing
having learned the lesson of his teasing!
Remember younger, smaller sibling:
It is unfeasible
to assume your bigger sister teasable!
