pat the wok posturer
So I fed the phrase "speak truth to power" into the anagram generator and, not having the rest of the year free to fool around with this project, stopped after only a small fraction of the possible results from rearranging the letters of "speak truth to power" had been produced. But they are enough.
Some have the air of headlines
operetta whops turk
sawteeth rot up pork
poets put earthwork
Some are reminiscent of antique poetry
o pup toke thwarters (poem for a K9 drug sniffer dog)
o peepshow tart turk
Some of the combinations conjure up amusing mental pictures
photostat purr week
the toe pup artworks
hot perk waterspout
tot rut ark peepshow
hot wok pus patterer
aw pot husk potterer
the two uke rapports
how to kept raptures
tot put wok reshaper
we tap turk hoopster
kraut hoopster wept
Another short story
o what kept posturer?
ow posturer kept hat
ha posturer kept two
sawtooth kept purer
wop taketh posturer
Another short story
prophets wake trout
prophets wake tutor
prophets uke or twat?
sputterer took whap
preheats put to work
pretaste put ho work
rheostat kept row up
rotators kept hew up
uprooters kept what?
the prostate workup
raptures kept hot ow
Of course there are the inevitable questions
ask potterer how put?
prop what outstroke?
Some rearrangements of "speak truth to power" are eerily appropriate
the stout paperwork
test thou paperwork
thus tote paperwork
pert wrath outspoke
woke that supporter
what protestor puke?
set up top earthwork
housework trapt pet
how kaput protester
supporter taketh ow
tweak hot supporter
pet put at workhouse
puke top o thwarters
perk up, attestor who…
posturer to pet hawk
what toke supporter?
purports owe taketh
And one is my very favorite
praetors kept ow hut
