Regards, Val

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.  
The shells Sally sells are surely from the sea.
Pretty good, Naomi, pretty good! I need to wait and see if anyone else is going to rely before announcing a winner. Incidentally, the British version of this tonguetwister replaces 'Sally' with 'She'...'She sells seashells...' I think that twists the tongue even more. Regards, Val
The Postal History Boutiques Competition Panel of Judges has DISQUALIFIED Angie & Snooky's entry on the ground that it is a pile of...er, seashells.

I am not elligible for this competition (and I certainly need not win any of these).

Please be sure not to mix up the Neptunes with the Doggie bones, er, I mean the Dogwinkles!


The lower stamp is always talking out of the side of its mouth...it's a "Doggie" ;-)

And Angie should not be disqualified yet...it was all Snooky's fault!

 

...SHE sells sea shells by the seashore and

how much shells can she sell if a woodchuck could chuck-chuck,

if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Will the usher sew us to our sheets?

Depending on where you collect them, either a sea food salad or start a food poisoning epidemic

Not bad mon ami, pas bon. You're on the short list prize (neither the Booker nor the Orange prize, but the Scallop prize); Regards, Val
