Theophilus Thistler.... an exercise in vowels.

An exercise in vowels....

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles.

Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round, and if Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round,

where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round? Where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round?

Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round, and if Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round,

where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round?

Here is an exercise.. in the strange inclusion of unngghhh... at the end of words.

Dividing and gliding and sliding and falling and brawling and sprawling and driving and riving and striving,

Dividing and gliding and sliding and falling and brawling and sprawling and driving and riving and striving,

Dividing and gliding and sliding and falling and brawling and sprawling and driving and riving and striving. Unngghh!

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles.

Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round, and if Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round,

where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round? Where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round?

Robert Rowley rolled a round a rolled round.               } Both lines sung

Where is the round roll Robert Rowley rolled round?    }  in a round        8 Times

Hardly had his hale highness heard the easy hedgehog, when he hit the humming-bee by the hunter, who had horrible beetles in the human hall.

I love to hear the horse's hard iron hooves. Go hammer! Hammer hammer! Hammer hammer, on the easy highway.

I hit my horse hard and hurried him out to hunt up hogs.

Theophilus Thistler (echoes in repeatedly to clicking fingers)

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Theophilus Thistler, the thistle sifter, in sifting a sieveful of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.

Three thousand thistles.
