I saw a cat-and-mouse comic about 55 years ago, in which the mouse challenged the cat to recite Peter Piper. It came out as “Piter Peeper pecked a pep of pebbled poopers.” For some reason that phrase remained in my memory all these years. I think it’s because at the impressionable age of eight, I was startled and tickled to find the word “poopers” right there in plain sight on the comic page.
