A Tongue Twister

A tuggle never taggles with a tiggle
Cause tiggles never taggle worth a tad.
So when you want to see a tuggle jiggle,
Just juggle every tuggle 'til they're mad!

But once a tuggle jiggles from a juggle
They're useless for about a day or so.
They need to sit and savor every struggle
And giggle as their gaggles grow and grow.

But tuggle's gaggles gurgle while they gargle
And bind their bellies with a bit of blight,
So splice a slice of spicy spam and spargle
And leave them left alone without a light.

When morning comes your tuggle will be ready
And happy as a lazy lark in June,
So sweetly smile and sing out soft but steady,
For tuggles really love a tender tune.

But try and tempt a tuggle with a tickle
To test a tuggle's temper through and through,
You'll find that though a tuggle may be fickle,
They'll taggle 'til their tongues are twisted too!

David love, I have an absolute passion for tongue twisters, I really enjoy them. Sort of callisthenics for the tongue   and I like to keep a nimble tongue.
I really love this one, absolutely fabulous
Take care

Delightful!  I love alliteration.  I like to teach children writing by using tongue twisters.  It's more fun than just writing
