A "pun" describes a play on words, a linguistic trick which usually depends on the double meaning of a word or phrase. For example: Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive." Although Brent is not making this type of joke, he is playing with the syllables of words in order to suggest different meanings.
A "tongue twister" is a playful phrase or sentence which is difficult to pronounce or repeat, such as: "Unique New York", "Red leather, yellow leather" "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"!
A "riddle" describes a sort of quiz, enigma or word puzzle. It isn't the same thing as a pun! An example of a riddle: Q. I arrive once in every second, once in every minute and once in every year. What am I? A. The letter "e". Or, Q. If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I? A. A secret.
A "lullaby" is generally a song sung to babies and small children to make them sleep.
