Betty and Bobby

Brilliant Barnacle Bobby the biker would
boast he bought a beautiful buxom bride
named Betty Blueberg
the body builder.

Betty Blueberg the body builder built a
big bungalow for Brilliant Barnacle Bobby
the biker before a big breakfast of
baked biscuits and beer.

Betty Blueberg the body builder was born
in Boston before Brilliant Barnacle Bobby
the biker bent her bible belief
bewitching her behavior.

Barnacle Bob the biker bewitched Betty
Blueberg the body builder by buying a
bouquet and balancing bouncing Bache
balls between two big boisterous bison.

Betty Blueberg the body builder bought
the big breakfast of baked biscuits and
beer for Barnacle Bob the biker before
bewitchment began.

Betty Blueberg the body builder bit the
bullet by becoming  Barnacle Bob the
biker’s beautiful buxom bride
because she was bloody bored.

    you're sssooooo bright with these. don't stop. one suggestion though. while i understand that redundancy is one of the characteristics of a tongue twister, i think you can trick the reader into not noticing so much if you switched the order a bit from stanza to stanza..for example: the body builder Betty Blueberg was born
    in Boston before Brilliant Barnacle Bobby
    the biker bent her bible belief
    bewitching her behavior. or: the big breakfast of baked biscuits and
    beer for Barnacle Bob the biker was bought by betty the body builder blueberg before bewitchment began.
    just a thought. please don't be offended with my nit pickin. your work is always so perfect, there's little else to do but nitpic very well done. and extremely fun to read.

    Just brilliant! Oh what a tongue twister and I thought PerVirtuous was going to slip over his tongue when I listened to it! He recited this brilliantly and you have penned a great piece. Love the ending too!
    This was hilarious!
    Thank you so much for the great entry in our contest!

    Wild how wayward Robert wooed his wench! I wonder how wet the wedding was and if waffles, watermelon and vanilla wafers were served by willing waitresses wearing wastecoats. Whatever. Wonderful writing wife. Have some bunnies.

    Brilliant alliteration Amera, very cleverly crafted and I’m glad I did not read this drunk, for I too like to read poetry aloud, *jeeze* it’s tough enough sober! LOL! I think I have a cramp in my tongue…


    All the best in the contest dear.
    Love and peace always,
