Hi Angie,

A hundred knots is a big problem if you don't have experience with tongue knots. Fortunately, I can help. It depends on the size of your tongue. If yours is small to average, just chop up (a food processor is even better) a one-inch section of an average-size fresh horse radish, transfer to a shot glass (setting side any remainder, in case you have under-estimated your tongue size) and insert your tongue for at least three minutes. A large tongue requires two inches of horse radish, using a teacup for tongue dipping, and at least five minutes of insertion.

I'm sure this will help, at least to remind you to avoid tonguetiedness.

If advancing age has affected your memory, I suggest you save these instructions for future future tt knots, and give them to a trusted friend or relative for safe-keeping.

I'm glad you asked, and watch your tongue!

This is a good story and I love the picture. I think this is a good entry in the contest as it twisted my tongue. I wish you well in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a great week.

Thank you so much for your compliments, DMT! I hope your tongue is all untwisted by now. You probably need it for tasting and talking.

This is like a triple play on words. Very nicely done. I like that it tells a story along with the tongue tyingt type theme, Good job.

Thank you for the terrific review, Sanky!

Unfortunately, I had to wait more than 14 hours before the poem got onto the voting list, and started out a few votes behind. I 'posted' the entry about 12:15 AM, but the system "believed' It was my third entry of the day, exceeding the 2-entryt limit. I reported it immediately, but the poem wasn't activated until about 4:20 PM. So, your comments lifted my spirits. Thanks again!

yeah well mate I am NOT going in any more competitions. It is a waste of time in this place.

reply by the author on 11-Oct-2016

Sorry to hear that, Sanky. What's the matter?

reply by Sankey on 11-Oct-2016

Just the same ones win the stuff all the time. I am full time carer for my wife and I don't live on Fanstory like some do. Cheers.

Hahahaha...okay, Don, now I want you to say that five times in succession, but really, really fast, heh-heh...
No doubt about it, this is certainly a tongue twister.
Hey, while we're on the subject, say the following three words five times fast without screwing up:
real rear wheels...
Good stuff,Don, and best of luck to you in the contest.

You got me there, Dean! Only 3 words!! But, while we're at it, you try TOY BOAT.
Thanks for your fun comments.

Yes sir, Don, that's what they call me; "King Nothing".
That IS a good one.
Toy Boat...who'd a thunk it, lol?
Best of luck, my friend.

Hello, Don.
This is quite the tongue twister and has a good story to tell. A regular international escapade from France to Finland to Florida and back to France.
It didn't end well for the five, filleted flamingos or the five lying fliers.

Good luck in the contest.

You actually read the thing!! (Many reviewers don't do that, and their comments make it evident.)

Unfortunately, a technical glitch prevented my entry from appearing on the voting list for more than 14 hours, so it started out far behind.

Thanks for the terrific review, dog!
