Is it… Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers, A Peck of Pickled Peppers Peter Piper Picked?
Or is it… If Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers how many Pickled Peppers did Peter Piper Pick?
Which is the correct one? Which is the original? Notice, in the second one, the P's are broken up by the If and the how many, which would make it easier to pronounce the P's or rather break it up.
Is there and original way to say it? Or, are both correct?
Then I found English Tongue Twisters online:

Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore. But if Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore then where are the sea shells Sally sells?
SALLY? I thought it was Susie?
Oh nevermind…can you say Sushi Chef five times real fast?
Actually I always thought it was "She sells" and perhaps you were confusing the How much wood could a woodchuck chuck (why would a woodchuck be chucking wood, but then again why is it called a woodchuck in the first place? but I digress) with peter piper picking his peck of pickled peppers (and how pickled would peter be after eating his peck of pickled peppers). Just a thought.
