Ranting
panting
chanting
granting
naught.

Ought to
plant
petunias
scant
slant-ed
plants.

Ants
plan to
plant
paths that
grant
growth.

Cease
ranting;
try
planting
plants
that play:
plants that play!

Tongue Twister #14 I Was a Nun

Diva Pig Cover
I was a nun-for-fun
A bun in the oven
A hun in the honey
A run in the stocking
A sun in the darkness
A ton of good cheer.
I won a nun-prize:
PRIVACY!
No puns
No guns
No done deals
But daily becoming
A nun for real.

Ginger

Here is my compliment tongue twister using the American tool name: wrench:

A
wench
on a bench
with a wrench
left a stench.

Sniff it we did
‘n hid
the bench
with the stench
of the wrench
from the wench.
