Parody Written by:

Peter Andersson a.k.a K1chyd

The Lyrics

This parody idea emerged when I accidentally tried to squeeze too many syllables into a single line. There's no disrespect meant towards those with the mentioned handicap, in fact with their first hand knowledge of expertise I'm sure that many of them could write a much longer (and much better) parody on the subject and thereby let us walk the famous mile in their shoes.
(Sing it out loud)

If you don't know what to wish for, wish for this
If you don't know what to wish for, wish for this
That your low unlithesome lisper
tongued out as a strivesome whisper
Becomes lifted to a crisper
With no hiss

(And because of the ten lines rule: Sing it again - Faster!)

If you don't know what to wish for, wish for this
If you don't know what to wish for, wish for this
That your low unlithesome lisper
tongued out as a strivesome whisper
Becomes lifted to a crisper
With no hiss

How to tie a bowline on your tongue, try that!

or to try a number eight knot, just try that!

Peter's song is pretty clever

best the tongue-a-twister ever

you might even try a reef knot just like that!
