"Peter Piper" is a traditional English nursery rhyme. The common version of the rhyme is as follows:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked?
The earliest known printed version of the rhyme appeared in Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation, which was published in London in 1813, but the rhyme was apparently known for at least a generation before that.
