Yup. I definitely intended to 'Seuss' the Soup. Look as if it worked --- a bit too well. Thanks for letting me know, Line! Smiles, Confuse-us (the un-China-man)

I was waiting for this.. Coz, you have tendencies to twist the tongues by your poems.. Great entry in the contest.. lol...You sell toy boat or boy goat.. doesn't matter.. my tongue is aching..

I would say that if you're tongue aches, use a tongue depressor. But I don't want you to get depressed. (Groan). Smiles, Gershon

Awesome, Gershon! However did you come up with this? Such a fun tongue-twister is surely a winner. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Have to admit that the 'toy boat' came from ESL pronunciation drills during my career as a teacher. No magic there. Thanks, Carolyn. Best wishes, Gershon
