Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters are great fun. This is one of the few types of wordplay that exist in every language. There are lots of well-known ones in English. Try saying these three times fast:

The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick. 
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. 
She sells seashells by the sea shore. 
Freshly-fried flying fish.


Another example:

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.
