Amidst the mists and coldest frosts,
With stoutest wrists and loudest boasts,
He thrusts his fist against the posts
And still insists he sees the ghosts.
Betty and Bob brought back blue balloons from the big bazaar.
Betty better butter Brad's bread.
Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter -
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she baked it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.
A bitter biting bittern
Bit a better brother bittern,
And the bitter better bittern
Bit the bitter biter back.
And the bitter bittern, bitten,
By the better bitten bittern,
Said: "I'm a bitter biter bit, alack!"
Black bug's blood.
The blue bluebird blinks.
The bootblack bought the black boot back.
A box of biscuits, a batch of mixed biscuits.
Brad's big black bath brush broke
Fat frogs flying past fast.
A fat thrush flies through thick fog.
Flash message!
Flee from fog to fight flu fast!
Fred fed Ted bread, and Ted fed Fred bread.
Freshly fried flying fish, freshly fried flesh.
Friendly Frank flips fine flapjacks.
She sells seashells on the seashore.
The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure.
Shy Shelly says she shall sew sheets.
Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.
The seven silly sheep Silly Sally shooed
Shilly-shallied south.
These sheep shouldn't sleep in a shack;
Sheep should sleep in a shed.
A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor:
"Is it harder to toot or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Pretty Kitty Creighton had a cotton batten cat.
The cotton batten cat was bitten by a rat.
The kitten that was bitten had a button for an eye,
And biting off the button made the cotton batten fly.
With stoutest wrists and loudest boasts,
He thrusts his fist against the posts
And still insists he sees the ghosts.
