The Tale of Tom Tattertall Tuttletut
From Muppet Wiki
Herbert Birdsfoot narrated this story, in which a Queen decided to ban all items that began with the letter T from her kingdom. One day, a salesman named Tom Tattertall Tuttletut came by to sell a variety of items that began with the letter T. The Queen sentenced him to the dungeon, explaining that things that begin with T are not allowed to be in the kingdom, but Tom pointed out that there were still a lot of things that begin with the letter T, such as the Kings trousers (The Queen thought they were pants), and then he points out that The Queen was "Talking, telling me things with your tongue and teeth, and those are terrific T words!" After this, the Queen decided to allow T items back into the kingdom.
