All I want is a proper cup of coffee
Made in a proper copper coffee pot.
You can believe it or not,
But I just want a cup of coffee

If I can't have
A proper cup of coffee
In a proper copper coffee pot,
I'll have a cup of tea!

because she is a thistle sifter.

 

The sun shines on shop signs.

A tidy tiger tied a tie tighter to tidy her tiny tail

On two thousand acres, too tangled for tilling,
Where thousands of thorn trees grew thrifty and thrilling,
Theophilus Twistle, less thrifty than some,
Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb!

 

"Sheath thy sword," the surly sheriff said, "or surely shall a churlish serf soon shatter thee."

A skunk sat on a stump.
The skunk thunk the stump stunk,
And the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

 

Sheep shouldn't sleep in a shack.
Sheep should sleep in a shed.

 

Thirty thrifty whistling washers witchingly whistling, wishing washing was washed.
