I propose that the original tongue twister was accompanied by a gesture of pointing to one's nose when reciting the line "Moses, he noses his toeses... Aren't roses! (with a disgusted look on their face) as Moses supposes his toeses to be."[edit]

From the Oxford Nursery rhyme book 1974...[edit]

In this book we find another version, maybe the best known?

  "Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
   But Moses supposes erroneously;
   For nobody's toeses are posies of roses
   As Moses supposes his toeses to be." 2001:999:408:79CB:801B:6527:DE58:635 (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
