THEOPHILUS Thistledown, the successful thistle sifter, In sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles, Thrust three thousand thistles Through the thick of his thumb. If, then, Theophilus Thistledown, the successful thistle sifter, In sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, Thrust three thousand thistles Through the thick of his thumb, See that thou, in sifting a sieve of unsifted thistles, Do not get the unsifted thistles stuck in thy tongue. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELETELEPHONY by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS PETER PIPER (1) by MOTHER GOOSE THE MAN IN THE MOON (3) by MOTHER GOOSE TONGUE TRIPPER by MOTHER GOOSE TONGUE TRIPPER: BETTY BOTTER (1) by MOTHER GOOSE TONGUE TRIPPER: BETTY BOTTER (2) by MOTHER GOOSE TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
