Clash of the Wordsmiths...

What size is a wingpig's fig?
A wingpig's fig is very big.
But a wingpig's fig could be more big,
if the big wingpig fig wore a wig.
Now why would wingpig's big fig wear a wig?
It's to go to the big wig fig gig
and dance the big fig wig jig.

You dig?

I went out for a lunchtime TeaTree cuppa with EcoDad and Wingpig where the latter indulged me in a bit of photo shooting. We also had a fascinating chat with the start of the Daniel O'Donnell Usher Hall ticket queue on the way back but I let EcoDad recount that for you.

I'm not sure if this is Wingpig's first introduction to the tongue twisting genius of Dr Seuss' Fox in Socks but I'm pretty sure I made his introduction with either "Green Eggs and Ham" or "Horton Hears a Who". It is one of my life ambitions to manage to read out loud this entire book without making mistakes. I'm not too sure it's an achievable goal.

For instance, try voicing this excerpt from it describing Tweetle Beetles. It's a hum dinger...

When tweetle beetles fight,
it's called a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they battle in a puddle,
it's a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

AND...

When tweetle beetles battle
with paddles in a puddle,
they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.

AND...

When beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle
and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle...
they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.

AND...
When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles
and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles,
they call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle.

AND...
