My Favourite English Tongue Twisters by George Elliot

She sells seashells by the seashore. (my favourite)


And this one only my mum can say quickly -


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 Peter Piper picked?


This one neither of us can say -


Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?


Here is a tongue twister poem with an example of personification -


A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.




My own creation -


THE END ENDS AT THE END OF THE END. THE END. 
(just joking)
