Tyrone tasted the twilight tea

The time tick tick tocked

Ten-thirty

‘Twas time

Tyrone the tumbling turtle

Tartan tied tight

Tumbled to town

To take the train

Tyrone tumbled through troughs

Tyrone tumbled through the trails

Tyrone tumbled through Tipperary

Tickling the teacups

Tyrone tipped to turn

To Tom the tailor’s tavern

Trickling through the thoroughfare

Tyrone tipped the tweed to Tom

Turning to

Tyrone thunk-a-thunked to the toll terminal

Tick-tock tick-tock

Time trickled to the train terminal

Turning to

“T-t-ticket T-T-Tammy t-tease”

Tyrone told Tammy

Tyrone took the ticket to the train

“Th-th-thanks T-T-Tammy. T-t-ta t-t-ta. T-t-tee tou tomorrow”
