Tongue Twister Time

Tongue Twister: Porcupine Pete parted paths with prude Prissy, pineapple paramour. Passion possessed Porcupine Pete Up in the pineapple patch Because with vision myopic, From afar, he suspected That pretty porcupine Peggy Pined for a tined paramour. Thus, in a sharp, prurient rush (Oh, how his prickles perked up) Pete failed to perceive it wasn’t Porcupine Peggy he poked. When the tryst had played out Pete discerned he’d pricked Prissy, Pineapple prickly and prudish, Who sternly refused to elope. Thus Prissy’s path with Pete’s parted, Spurned porcupine unwitting That Prissy a pin cushion birthed. Then that poor single mother, Toiling hard as a pineapple, Was pushed to life on the Dole.

This was great. That line is definitely a difficult tongue twister and the poem fits it perfectly.
