My favorite tongue twister artists are Danny Kaye ( my favorite ) and George W. Bush. George is on dangerous ground once a double negative presents itself. Don't get me wrong, I worship the quicksand he walks on. If it was not for Bushisms I would have less to laugh about.

Finding the great Danny Kaye tongue twisters has proved a difficult task for me. However Bushisms are like shooting pies in a barrel. Or is it monkees?

Just a sample:

Eventually things work out to the benefit of all, but not before Kaye's had the chance to come out with
such tongue twisters as "When what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, whatever you've got left," and such classic lines as "you're happy for
the wrong reasons, and that's the same as being lonely and miserable, except it's WORSE."

I did a google search and found alot of twisters. Inspired by this here is my humble original pseudo limmerick submission:

Vlad and Mallory often exchanged jabs
Mallory's job was a fad and really not so bad
In fact he was glad he had a job better than Vlad
Still Mallory's hourly salary was sad
One day at work because of a jerk
Mallory got a concussion, one heard in every discussion
about Mallory's delusion, he now a she had sexual confusion
Despite therapy and infusions no dillution of symptoms occurred.
On Mallory's birthday Vlad was was a turd
He gave gifts that couldn't be sicker
We sent her some flowers but Vlad was still quicker
His gifts ranged from slick ruffled panties, to rubber balls and liquor
