Untwirling the twine that untwisteth be-
tween,
He twirls with the twister the two in a
twine;
Then twice having twisted the twines of
the twine,
He twisteth the twine he had twined in
twain.

The twain that, in twining, before in the
twine,
As twines were intwisted, he now doth
untwine;
'Twixt the twain intertwisting a twine more
between,
He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of
the twine.




Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled
peppers;
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper
picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled
peppers,
Where 's the peck of pickled peppers Peter
Piper picked?
