ONE MAN WAS SMART; HE FELT SMART;
TWO MEN WERE SMART; THEY FELT SMART;
THREE MEN WERE SMART; THEY ALL FELT SMART.
The better version is:
One smart feller, he felt smart.
Two smart fellers, they felt smart.
Three smart fellers, they all felt smart.

TOY BOAT . . .
This one is actually easy if you know the trick. Don't say "Toy Boat" lots
of times, say "Boat Toy" lots of times. This actually works for me!

I learned a slightly different tongue twister:
I SLIT A SHEET, A SHEET I SLIT
AND ON THIS SLITTED SHEET I SIT.

How about trying to say:

| Or, another:
"BAD BLOOD"
That's only half of it. This is the trickiest tongue twister I
know of:
"GOOD BLOOD, BAD BLOOD."
=========================
From: Robert Chambers <[email protected]>
References: <[email protected]>
How about:
"I chased a bug around a tree,
I'll have his blood he knows I will!"
This appeals more to English schoolboys (where I learned it).

I'm not sure if this one has already been on the net, but here
goes:
Betty bought some butter but the butter Betty bought was bitter
so Betty bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better
but the bitter butter made the better butter bitter.

How about:
Betty Botta bought some butter but the butter Betty Botta bought was bitter,
so Betty Botta bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better,
but the bitter butter made the better butter bitter; however, Betty Botta
bought abundant more better butter hoping to make her bitter butter better
with this extra better butter she just bought.

if a wood-chuck could chuck wood.'
