• Tongue Twisters

  Many moons ago, in a far off place, I used to participate in theater in my highschool.

   

  Prior to every performance, the whole cast would get together under the direction of our theater teacher, Mr. G, and form an “energy circle” to psych ourselves up for the performance and work on a number of tongue twisters for enunciation and projection. For some reason, these were running through my head nonstop yesterday, so I thought i would share them before the part of my brain that remembers such things shuts down. So for this post, I am taking you back to the old school, cuz i’m an old fool who’s so cool

   

  Oh what to do to die today at a minute or two ’til two 
  A thing distinctly hard to say yet harder still to do 
  For they’ll beat a tattoo at twenty to two 
  With a rattatta tattatta tattatta too 
  And the dragon will come when he hears the drum 
  At a minute or two ’til two today 
  At a minute or two ’til two

  One black beetle bled only black blood, the other black beetle bled blue (repeat ad infinitum)
