#AtoZchallenge Day 22 – my most fun ‘V’ tongue-twister

What do you think of this one? Courtesy Sweetrhymes 🙂

Valuable valley villas.

And have a great day, dear Reader 🙂

#AtoZchallenge Day 21 – my most fun ‘U’ tongue-twister

I’m studying ‘Poetry’ with my Year 8 English class at the moment; and all things alliteration and assonance were on the menu last week. So I shared with them the tongue-twister:

Unique New York

which uses the ‘u’ vowel sound (and also the ‘n’ consonant) but the tongue-twister I want to post as *my* ‘most fun ‘U’ example’ uses both the ‘u’ vowel sound and ‘st’, ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ as well:

If Stu chews shoes, should Stu choose the shoes he chews?

More complex = more fun, don’t you think? Tongue-twister courtesy pun.me again 🙂

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and have a great day, dear Reader!

#AtoZchallenge Day 20 – my most fun ‘T’ tongue-twister (and another ‘s’ one I forgot from my last post)

My bad! I had meant to post this ‘S’ tongue-twister originally, but got completely side-tracked by Greg Hurwitz’s surprise find. The one I had chosen to share prior to reading his ORPHAN X was this:

Six thick thistle sticks.

And I found it again because the ‘T’ tongue-twister I wanted to use today was from the same website, so thank you Sweetrhymes!

Three free throws.

… or you could try the extended version:

He threw three free throws.

So there you go: two tongue-twisters today, for the price of one 🙂  You’re welcome!

And have a great day, dear Reader!

#AtoZchallenge Day 19 – my most fun ‘S’ tongue-twister

This one I found in a novel I read recently – and it took me COMPLETELY by surprise! Any ‘Reiders’ among my Readers may recall a novel Janet used as a prize in a Flash Fiction comp last year (or perhaps in 2016?): ORPHAN X by Greg Hurwitz. Well, imagine my surprise to find the following alliteration, just last week, when I had tongue-twisters on my mind:

Slatcher’s broad fingers scrabbled for purchase across the sleek silicon, sending shotgun shells scattering.

Oh, and if you haven’t read this novel, do so! I found it really rather enjoyable 🙂

And I wonder if you also, liked his impromptu tongue-twister, too?

Have a great day, dear Reader 🙂

#AtoZchallenge Day 18 – my most fun ‘R’ tongue-twister

Well, this one took me a while to create – and much hilarity was had by all those who could hear me puzzle it out! I wonder what *you* think of my attempt…

Rough Wal Wulf and gruff Rolf Wuff roof

… and yes, I was thinking that it’d be good to have a brilliant final word or phrase, but the best I could come up with is ‘wine refineries’ – which added a vowel sound that I didn’t have anywhere else 🙁

Do you have any suggestions, perhaps?

And have a great day, dear Reader 🙂
