What do you know about tweetle beetles?

Well...when tweetle beetles fight it's called a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they battle in a puddle, it's a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

AND when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it at tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.

AND when beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle...they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.

AND when beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles...they call this a muddled puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle...

Wow, thanks for reminding me of that. When my boy was little, I used to read that all the time to him. (Was that from Fox in Sox?)

Anyway, I would try to read it as fast as I could without messing it up, it always cracked him up.

I saw that Dr. Seuss bit on tv when I was about 16 and it always cracked me up, it was a runnin' joke between me and my friends that has been told as a story for the last 35 years to all our own kids and the funny part is we all tell it a little bit different.
