Tongue Twisters

I thought it might be fun to think of some novel tongue twisters. If you have more traditional ones please post those too - to others they may be novel.

This thread is, of course, dedicated to Lee.

My offering is:-

"Moody Maureen made a mouth watering mix of melon and mango in her magical mauve motorhome."

Thinking caps on!

Remarkable not only for it's ability to twist tongues but also for it's brevity and (as far as I am aware) correct use of three apostrophes in just five words!

Nice work, Chris. One of yours?

Saw it on a wall near Camden lock, when we were down there with the boat

I remember that one from childhood, Tes. Thanks.
I also remember the "Peter Pipet picked................." tongue twister. And one or two not suitable for publication!

The only Fud packer I know is Jose Quilerra who works in a factory packing Spanish sausage near Madrid.
Am I on the right lines here, teejay?

Puds fuds pucks and packs its all greek to me or, it was until you mentioned Spain. Would it work with chorizo though? Doesn't seem to have the same fudpucking or puckfuding impact to it somehow. (I typed that sentence twice before I was happy to release it publicly!)

Fud are indeed purveyors of fine chorizo. Surprising but true.

Thanks Alan. One of those I remember from my London upbrungin.
As you'd expect, we deliberately Spoonerised the odd word.

Thanks, Matchlock. Yet another huge grin from that one. I'm guessing one of your own, too.
