As a wood-chuck would chuck,
If a wood-chuck could chuck wood.

Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepper?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
Where’s the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?

An annoying noisy noise
Annoys an onion more.

A witch wristwatch

14. As I was in Arkansas,
I saw a saw that could outsaw
Any saw I ever saw saw.

15. Betty Botter had some butter.
“But,” she said, “this butter’s bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter
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.
16. I wish to wish the wish
You wish to wish.
But if you wish the wish
The witch wishes,
I won’t wish the wish
You wish to wish.

23. Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot.

Whether we like it or not.
