Tongue Twister

What better way to celebrate both the first day of Spring and World Poetry day with a "tongue twister" which took a long time to rehearse and then perform publically! So hold on to your seats, here goes:

A riddle-a diddle-a diddleo, a riddle-ariddle-epo

A video-rideo-diddleo, a kineoviddle-epo
