Auntie is waiting

I like this French tongue-twister: dans ta tente ta tante t'attend which means as much as 'in your tent your auntie is waiting for you'. If you pronounce it aloud it sounds like 'donh tatonh tatonh tatonh'.

Here 's one: Dis -donc, Dina, comment dit-on du dos d'un dodu dindon?
Translates as: tell me Dina, how do you say: on the back of a plump turkey?
