Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Toy Boat Or a Boy Goat

Sell me a toy boat or a boy goat
Make that one boy goat, two toy boats
No: Two boy goats, one toy boat
Wait. Make it one boy goat named Roy Oates

Ha, ha: Back again with soy oats
Soy oats for boy goats, not for toy boats
Toy boats, not boy goats, deploy decoy floats
So, that's two toy boats, one toy goat
  ~ A coy note: Redeploy McCoy groats for soy oats

Lindsay Laurie January 20, 2020 at 4:43 PM G'day Gershon … I'm often accused of speaking like this in real life, but this is a great twister indeed - thanks again Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf January 20, 2020 at 6:32 PM Glad it's not tongue-tied contest and not a 'pen-plopper!' Smiles, Lindsay! :) gw

Jenish Somadas January 19, 2020 at 11:35 PM 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.. Gershon Wolf January 20, 2020 at 6:25 PM 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

Carolyn Devonshire January 19, 2020 at 4:19 PM 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 Gershon Wolf January 19, 2020 at 5:58 PM 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
