The Friday Fling Tries Christmas Time Tongue-Twisters!
Friday Fling #211 for December 21st 2012
One of our favorite Christmas tapes – ok so those are obsolete now but they weren’t when this one was first issued – is called “Twisted Christmas.” It’s a collection of Christmas song rewrites with funny lyrics.
Recalling that got us thinking about tongue-twisters, which we’ve done on the Fling before. Combining the two thoughts, we came up with Christmas tongue-twisters.
So our challenge to you this week is to write a poem about Christmas and the holiday period which includes at least one tongue-twisting phrase or line. It could be alliterative like the famous “Peter Piper picked a peck of picked peppers,” or one where words hard to say together are put together like the famous “she sells sea shells by the sea shore.” But any way you come up with a tongue-twister while staying on a holidaytime subject is fine.
This week the Friday Fling twists your tongue in writes about Christmastime!
Be sure to save time to read and comment contortionately on your fellow Pals’ tongue-twisting Christmas tales. Then go enjoy an untwisted final pre-Christmas weekend!

Well here I go me lst 😯 :groovy: 😆
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
He lived in fear whenever those were near
He had no gear nor hope until his nose lite near
Lite it flip dip nip they all laughed until
Red flashing , dashing cashing stashing
He was in front mashing those that once were clashing
He guided the sled all the way
Jail house rock around the clock until midnight could not compare to
Jingle bells rock those docks keeping time with clocks
We are headed for a White Christmas
Dream come true with love rue
White night flight in sight light right just don`t try to type
Rough hills making feel ill no time to heal
Until light is shared as one … Silent Night
Tree Trimming
Trimming the tree with tinsel
Tasty treats to try
‘Tis truly a titillating time
Time is ticking by.
Santa’s Sleigh
Santa’s sleigh set to soar
Sack so full of shiny toys
See it streak across the sky
Joyousness for girls and boys.
BREAST MAN
Clementine’s captivating cleavage
caused Charles’ clandestine climactic kissing crescendo
CHRISTMAS COOKIE CREATOR
Cunningly comical child
creates crispy coriander clove Christmas cookies.
JINGLEING BELLS
~
Jingle bells jingle rock floozy round the twee
Goin around this roundabout wees goes
Marmalade dancin out ta night gonna be tight to night

Suzie suddenly spotted Santa’s sleigh.
Sally said “she’s silly!”
Surly she should see some specialist.

BUT ONCE A YEAR
Christmas quickly coming,
singing songs of cheer,
Santa’s sleigh slippery-sliding,
rambunctious reindeer running,
ambitious and eager elves
a-helping load the gear;
hooves a-prancing,
with a whoosh
and a swoosh,
they’re off and away,
flying skyward just in time,
not to be late
one second or minute,
for Christmas Day
is almost here.
I hear them now
on the roof they’ve landed,
close to the chimney
after their long sleigh ride,
looking forward to chomping
those chocolate chip cookies
that Mother has made
with such care and pride,
washed down with
a bit of Christmas cheer.
I think I might just join them,
Merry Christmas,
One and All!
